Vito DiStefano

Vito DiStefano was in the big blind and snap-called a shove for around 25,000 from an opponent in early position with a {4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} board on the felt.

Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Vito DiStefano: {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}

DiStefano's set of deuces held on the {6-Clubs} river, and he let out a loud, "Let's go!" as he stacked up another big pot.

"Boston" Rob Mariano in previous action

"I waited for a hand, I couldn't find a hand!" "Boston" Rob Mariano told the RGPS Media Desk in talking about his bustout.

In his words, "I had 20 big blinds under the gun and jacks, I shoved, and the small blind woke up with kings and called and ended up with aces full of kings!"

Lawson Gets Lucky to Fade the Ultimate Cooler

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A player raised to 3,000 from middle position, and the hijack called. Theo Lawson three-bet to 13,600 in the small blind, and the middle-position player called. The hijack four-bet shoved for 55,000, Lawson five-bet shoved for 62,800, and the middle-position player folded.

Opponent: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Theo Lawson: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Lawson shook his head upon seeing the cooler situation he was in, and no relief came on the {3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop. The {k-Spades} left the hijack shaking his head instead, however, and Lawson ended up with a full house after the {j-Hearts} fell on the river to earn the huge pot and the knockout.

While our live updates this weekend are focused on the $600 Main Event, this tournament is actually the culmination of a week's worth of tournaments.

Earlier this week, Event #3: $130 Deep Stack No-Limit Hold'em more than doubled its $10,000 guarantee as 232 runners generated a $22,736 prize pool. The top 29 finishers got paid including Nancy Birnbaum (10th - $468), Michael Bailine (14th - $401), Steve Fredlund (17th - $335), Lisa Teebagy (18th - $335), and Nick Visconti (21st - $268).

The title came down to Alan Katsnelson and Justin Datloff and the former, a WSOP Circuit Seminole Coconut Creek ring winner, ultimately prevailed to claim a $5,359 first-place prize.
