Hand #113  –  Larry Moccia raises from the button to 250,000 with Jd9h, and Omar Zazay calls from the big blind with Ks2s.

Both players check to the turn on a board of KcQd5h4c, Zazay bets 300,000, and Moccia calls.

The river card is the 9s, Zazay checks, and Moccia quickly moves all in for 2,625,000. Zazay goes into the tank asking whether or not Moccia has a hand, and if he caught something. Zazay says, “I’ve got a little something.”

Zazay tanks for more than two minutes before he calls. Moccia shows his Jd9h for a pair of nines, but Zazay turns over his Ks2s to win the pot with a pair of kings. Zazay is eliminated in fourth place.

Seat 2.  Larry Moccia  –  Eliminated in 4th Place ($220,000)

Event 23: David Eldridge Wins Championship ($146,100), Rubin Ybarra 2nd Place ($84,700)

by

$1,100 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 31: 60,000/120,000/20,000 Ante

After nearly letting this tournament get away, David Eldridge came from behind again and clinched the Event 23 title.

Eldridge did his usual 260,000 chip raise but this time Rubin Ybarra pushed his stack into the middle and Eldridge quickly made the call. But Eldridge found himself dominated as Ybarra showed AdQs to his AcJs.

Once agains after the flop of 5c7cTd Ybarra found himself in a strong position to win the hand and even things out.  But the Tc came on the turn giving Eldridge outs to a flush and he got there after the Qc came on the river.  The flush gave Eldridge the hand and the championship.  After a terrific run, Rubin Ybarra finishes in 2nd place for $84,700.

Congratulations to our Event 23 Champion – David Eldridge!

David Eldridge - Event 23 Champion ($146,100)

Event 22: Darryl Ronconi – 3rd Place ($84,800)

by

$2,650 No Limit Hold’em (Freeze-Out)
Level 29: 40,000/80,000/10,000 Ante

On the very next hand after Xuan Liu’s elimination, Darryl Ronconi put his short stack in action. He open-shoved for 500,000 from the button with As5c and Daniel Fuhs called with 7d7h in the small blind.

Whatever dreams Ronconi had for a small suckout, they all died on the 7c7s5s flop. There was nothing that could come on the turn or river and Ronconi quickly followed Liu out the door, taking $84,800 for his 3rd place result.

Darryl Ronconi: Eliminated in 3rd Place ($84,800)
Daniel Fuhs: 4,200,000

Level 29: 40,000/80,000/10,000 Ante

Xuan Liu tried to recover from her big loss to Daniel Fuhs and moved all-in preflop for her final 310,000 with Kh8h. Fabrizio Gonzales called on the button with 3s3c.

The AsTs2s flop was not good for Liu and she was drawing dead on the 4s turn to 4th place. An unlucky run for our former chip leader after her two-out elimination of Jon Borenstein.
