Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante
Jason Nablo made another deep run today but wasn't able to close the deal.
Rick Block opened to 25,000 from the cutoff, and Mike Azzinaro (small blind) and Nablo (big blind) called to see a 
flop. Azinarro checked, Nablo moved all in for around 140,000, Block folded, and Azzinaro called.

It was the worst outcome Nablo could have hoped for, but he still had pair outs for the win. Unfortunately for him, the 
hit the river to give Azzinaro the nut flush. Nablo has made final tables in each of the first two WNYPC events, and he'll try for a third tomorrow.
