Event 15: Paul Balzano Cracks Aces to Double

$1,100 No Limit Hold’em
Level 25: 12,000/24,000 with a 4,000 ante
Players Remaining: 5 of 261

Paul Balzano moved all in from the cutoff for 146,000 and Ryan Olisar called out of the big blind.

Balzano showed Qc[8]and was dominated by Olisar’s AsAh. Balzano found gin on the flop as it came Qh8s3h, but the 3c peeled off on the turn to give Olisar a better two pair.

The table let out a groan of amazement as the 8h fell on the river to give Balzano a full house and give him a double up through one of the bigger stacks left.

Paul Balzano – 348,000
Ryan Olisar – 905,000
