Porter Takes Back-to-Back Hands vs. Russo

Anthony Russo: 
Russo had Porter dominated but a very sweaty 
flop hit down on the board. The sweat ended quickly when Porter binked his flush on the 
turn and Russo was the drawing dead to the 
river.
On the next hand, Porter opened the button and Russo pushed in 17,700. Porter called and the two turned over their hands once again, but Russo was at risk this time.
Anthony Russo: 
Andrew Porter: 
The board ran out dry, having 
fill up the community and Porter took it down. Russo was eliminated just a few hands shy of a Day 2 bag.
