Event 1: Caiazza Gets There

$250 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 21: 6,000/12,000/2,000 Ante

Pasquale Caiazza was already among the leaders before he blew up his table and ran out the door. He wasn’t gone because he was broke, he was just very excited.

The affable local is usually a good time at the table but he was in trouble shortly after the break. Caiazza was all-in against an opponent with his flopped top pair Queens versus the flopped nut flush.

Caiazza needed to go runner-runner for the knockout and managed just that when he tripped up his Queen on the turn and paired the board on the river to give him the boat over flush TKO.

He jumped out of his seat, gave a nice loud yell of “ship it!”, and quickly walked away from the ballroom. The hand gave him “walking chips” and is now the clear leader with ~1.3 million.
