Lawrence Martone Eliminated in 20th Place ($17,450)

Lawrence Martone - 20th Place
Lawrence Martone - 20th Place
Mario Delis moved all in from early position for approximately 100,000. Action folded around to Lawrence Martone on the button and he made the call. The blinds passed and the players showed:

Delis: {10-Spades} {9-Clubs}
Martone: {A-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}

When the hands were turned up, Delis commented on how it was the best hand he had seen in a while.

The flop was dry for both players as it came {J-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}. The turn however, fell the {9-Spades} and gave Delis the lead. The {4-Clubs} hit the river and Martone hit the rail. He was eliminated in 20th place and will walk with $17,450 to show for it. Delis climbs to just shy of 200,000 chips after the hand.
