Gary Kosakowski

Gary Kosakowski cashed in Event #5: HOSE a few days ago, finishing 5th for $1,505.

He tried again in the PLO event yesterday, lighting several buy-ins on fire, but failed to cash.

Undeterred, he's back in action here in Flight A, trying to make it to the bag & tag after Level 16.

Defending Champion Macri is In

Level 10 : 800/1,500, 1,500 ante
Ralph Macri
Ralph Macri

The board read {5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} with almost 40,000 in the middle.

The player in the under-the-gun position checked and Ralph Macri shoved from the middle position for 22,700. His opponent contemplated his options for a bit and then made the call with {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for top pair. Macri held {5-Clubs}{4-Spades} for the flopped two pair.

The river completed the board with the {8-Hearts} to keep Macri ahead and double him up.
