Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Inside the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino isn't the only place for you to satisfy your World Series of Poker appetite. WSOP.com is the leading online poker site in Nevada and has plenty of action running around the clock, seven days a week.

All summer long, a special promotion labeled Multi-Table Madness will be running from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. PT each night. The promotion will select one random hand at a random cash-game table during those hours that will award every player dealt into the hand with a cash bonus up to $100.

What's more is that WSOP.com will be sweetening the prize by giving players as much as $100 more for each additional table they're playing at during the time of the drawing. That means if you're playing in four different cash games when your table is selected, you could walk away with up to $400 in bonus money.

Frank Patti - 3rd Place

Hand 138: Jeff Smith opened to 80,000 on the button, Danny Nguyen called in the small blind and Frank Patti moved all in from the big blind. Smith got out of the way while Nguyen made the call to put Patti at risk.

Patti: {a-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Nguyen: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Patti was heading toward the flop, looking for a big time double up. The dealer laid out a {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop and Nguyen took the lead with his pair of kings. Patti would once again need a three-outer to save his tournament life. The turn {3-Diamonds} gave Patti nine more outs with a flush draw. The river {5-Spades} gave Nguyen the check mark and Patti was eliminated.
