$150 No Limit Hold’em Re-Entry
Level 19: 4,000/8,000 with a 1,000 ante
Players Remaining: 37 of 625

The player in the big blind was all in for 3,000 and four players took a flop of Kc9h3d. Edgardo Rosario bet 10,000 from under-the-gun and a player in late position called.

The rest of the hand was checked down as the board was completed with the Ac and the Qs.

Rosario showed KhTc, and dragged the pot against the all in player’s 7c3c and the late position player’s 7h7d. Rosario dragged the pot, burst the bubble and there is a slight break in the action as they break a table and the final 36 are all in the money.

Rosario is one of the biggest stacks remaining after dragging the pot and everybody remaining is guaranteed at least $488.

Edgardo Rosario – 440,000
