Frank Russo is moving up the counts and made a bold prediction earlier in the day.
“I’m going to bag 536K,” Russo said before joining. “Write that down.”
He’s having a good start on his goal. With a flop reading 
, Russo had an opponent all-in and at risk. His trip aces with 
were ahead of pocket tens and he made a boat after the 
turn and 
river.
Russo sent him out and stacked up among the leaders.
