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.

Pratyush Buddiga: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Spades}.

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Michael Gagliano - 9th Place
Michael Gagliano - 9th Place

Hand #3: Ryan Leng raised to 85,000 in the hijack and Michael Gagliano grabbed his T$25,000 chips and said he was all in as he placed them in the middle.

"How much is it?" Leng said with a bit of excitement in his voice. "Six-hundred-thousand? I call."

Leng: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Gagliano: {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}

The flop came {2-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}, leaving Gagliano in need of running spades for a realistic chance. The turn was a {5-Hearts} and the river a {9-Diamonds} and that was the end for "Gags".

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Max Pescatori - 8th Place
Max Pescatori - 8th Place

Hand #17: Max Pescatori opened for 90,000 in second position. Both Ryan Leng (small blind) and Noah Vaillancourt (big blind) came along, seeing a {4-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop. After two checks, Pescatori fired in 150,000. Leng shoved all in and Pescatori immediately called for about 200,000 more after Vaillancourt folded.

Pescatori: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Leng: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Pescatori was best for the moment, but had some cards to fade. The {7-Clubs} made it a short sweat, as Leng picked up an unbeatable nut flush, and the meaningless river was a {9-Diamonds}.

Noah Vaillancourt: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Leng’s good run continued to send Vaillancourt to the rail in the seventh spot.

Grant Denison - 5th Place
Grant Denison - 5th Place

Hand #46: Christopher Frank raised to 110,000 in the cutoff. Grant Denison moved all in for what looked like about 800,000 in the big blind, and Frank snap-called.

Frank: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Denison: {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}

Denison looked likely to double as {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds} hit the board, but an {a-Spades} doomed him on the river.

"Nice hand," he said. "Nice playing with you."

"Good game, sir," Frank said.

Pratyush Buddiga - 4th Place

Hand #69: Pratyush Buddiga opened to 125,000 on the button, and Christopher Frank made it 280,000 in the small blind. No sooner had Buddiga announced, "All in," for about 1.7 million than Frank's chips were in the middle and his {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} on its back. Buddiga had {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and was looking for a sailboat, but the {2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{10-Spades}{j-Spades} runout did not bring one.
