Robert Fortuno Eliminated in 9th Place ($4,531)
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Robert Fortuno just couldn't get anything going at the final table. In this hand, he was all-in and at risk for his final 830,000 against Michael Starek, who had Fortuno covered and at risk.
Robert Fortuno: 6♥6♦
Michael Starek: J♥J♠
Fortuno was well behind, and the flop brought little solace as it came J♦7♥5♦ to keep Starek well in front.
The 8♥ turn gave Fortuno some hope as it gave him an open-ended straight draw, but the 7♠ sealed the deal as Fortuno was eliminated in ninth place.
Fortuno earned $4,531 for his finish.
