David Gerassi Eliminated in 9th Place ($8,399)

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
David Gerassi - 9th Place ($8,399)
David Gerassi - 9th Place ($8,399)

David Gerassi's magical ride was just derailed, and after he built a big stack throughout the day by playing untraditional hands like {8-Spades}{3-Spades} and {6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, of course he crashed and burned holding a monster.

Gerassi moved all-in over the top of an opening raise by Nicholas Immekus - our chip leader going into the hand - but he was snapped off.

Showdown:

Gerassi: {K-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Immekus: {A-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Despite finding a pair of cowboys in the hole, the second-best hand in poker was second-best for Gerassi, as Immekus tabled aces for the second time at this final table.

The final board failed to bring Gerassi any more miracles, and after the {4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} hit the board, Gerassi stood up to make his exit. The gracious Gerassi shook Immekus' hand and told him "nice hand" before heading to the cashier's cage to collect his $8,399 for an 8th place finish.

Immekus continues to run over the final table, and he now holds the biggest stack in the room by a large margin.
