Ronald Massetti Eliminated in 12th Place ($23,407)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Ronald Massetti - 12th Place
Ronald Massetti - 12th Place

Ronald Massetti pushed all in from under the gun. Everyone folded quickly to the big blind where Joseph Kent appeared to have a decision. He thought for roughly a minute, got a count of 304,000, and called.

Kent: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Massetti: {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

"Good call," Massetti said.

The flop: {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.

Massetti picked up a straight draw as a queen would now give him a lock winner. The turn was a {2-Spades} and the river an {a-Clubs}, though. He said he had a great time and headed for payouts.

Curcio needed an ace but found none as {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{j-Spades} hit the felt.

"Good luck," he said, fist bumping some friends on the way out.

Christopher Kostoulas was all in from the big blind for what looked like about 340,000 when we got to his table. He was at risk against Kami Hudson in the small blind.

Hudson: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Kostoulas: {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

The flop brought {6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, giving some help to Kostoulas with a flush draw. Red bricks fell on the turn ({j-Diamonds}) and river ({7-Diamonds}) though, and Hudson eliminated Kostoulas.
