In the Money!

Our 198 in-the-money finishers just let out a huge cheer, knowing that they'd survived long enough to at least double their buyin.

Not cheering at all was bubble boy Leroy Le. He moved all in for 6,500 from the button with {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} but unfortunately Ben Alcober woke up with {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs} in the small blind. No help for Le on the {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} board and he hit the rail amidst all the celebration and high-fiving.
