Ten Ball!

After folding a few times, Joseph Curcio finally plopped his last 80,000 or so in the middle. Action folded to Mike Wattel who raised to 250,000 from the small blind.

Salvatore Bonavena, who was sitting in the big blind, plopped a chip on his cards and sat back in his chair. He removed his glasses and thought for a bit before moving all in. Wattel quickly mucked, and Curcio had a chance to triple up:

Bonavena: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Curcio: {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

"Ten ball!" Curcio blurted.

The dealer wrapped the table before delivering two tens for Curcio; {9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

The {3-Hearts} on the turn officially ended the hand and the river brought the {k-Hearts} just for kicks and giggles.

Curcio tripled to 280,000 chips.
