Event 10: Gerald Aiello – 6th Place ($8,100)

$1,650 Purple Chip Bounty No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 22: 5,000/10,000/1,000 Ante

Gerald Aiello came back from the break in a lot of trouble and it didn’t take long for him to be ousted from Event 10.

With Aiello in the big blind and only holding 23,000 chips, Haim Toorgeman bet 25,000 putting him all-in if he called.  Aiello decided to put the rest of his chips on the line and turned up Ac2c to face off with Toorgeman’s Ks4d.  Aiello was ahead but Toorgeman hit a four on the river taking Aiello out of the tournament.

Gerald Aiello finishes in 6th place scoring $8,100.
