Thomas Balla Eliminated in 11th Place ($2,385)

Thomas Balla bet 50,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 6♣J♥9♥ before Mario Damiao raised to 120,000 in the big blind. "You have a good hand?" Balla asked.

"The best," Damiao replied as Balla called all in.

Thomas Balla: J♣10♣9♦7♦ All in
Mario Damiao: A♥Q♣J♠10♥

"It's not quite the best right now," Balla said as he was ahead with two pair, but Damiao hit the Q♦ on the turn to make queens and jacks. The river was the 4♠ and Balla was eliminated in 11th place.

Damiao then admitted he had been up until 8 am playing Double Board Bomb Pot. "I made more money there than I stand to win here," he said.

"You won $25?," Danny Chang asked.

"You assume I'm going to win this? No, I did win $5K, though," Damiao replied.
