It took five long rounds of hand-for-hand action to get the Event 8 field into the money, though it looked like it might happen on the first.

The other tables were finishing up their action while Elliott Zaydman and Henri Azoulay were already all-in with the board reading . When everyone else was done, Zaydman tabled his flopped set was against Azoulay’s flush draw .

Azoulay added an open-ended straight draw on the turn and filled the flush when the dealer put out the river. The hand left Zaydman with 40K and a prayer.

Four hands later, and two other double ups including Wally Maddah, we found the hand to get them in the money. All the chips were in the middle with Gregorio Correa holding against .

The dealer put his KO help right on the flop then Correa held as the board finished to send his opponent out in 82nd and put the field in the money.

Gregorio Correa: 370,000 (46 bb)
