Marcello Del Grosso Eliminated in 17th Place ($54,777)
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
The action started with a small blind limp by Javier Francort and Marcello Del Grosso raised it up to 300,000. Francort then limp-raised the pot and Del Grosso got his shorter stack into the middle for the following showdown.
Marcello Del Grosso: A♣A♦J♦6♥ 
Javier Francort: Q♦Q♠8♣3♥
The J♠9♥4♣K♠Q♥ runout was a gross(o) one as Francort spiked the set of queens on the river to eliminate the Canadian.
While he raked up the chips, the Dutchman joked "it was always coming," and added, "better than the Badugi tournament."
His hand was certainly a Badugi choice, though only a three-card Dugi with the pair of queens. Del Grosso's tournament ends in 17th place for $54,777 and the remaining sixteen now redraw to the last two tables.
