Event 12: Tony Marini Eliminated In 10th Place ($1,873)

$1,100 No Limit Hold’em Turbo (Freeze-out)
Level 20: 4,000/8,000/1000 Ante

In what could turn into a pivotal hand, Jarod Ludemann came up with the right hand at the right time.  After a bet from Ory Hen, Tony Marini moved in for 40,000 and Jarod Ludemann went over the top for 98,000.   Hen paused and then folded and the cards were turned up.

Marini showed 5d5c and Ludemann showed QcQh to dominate the hand.  The cards showed no kindness to Marini as he could not catch up on a 6sJs6d9hKh board and was eliminated.

Marini finishes in 10th place for $1,873.

Event 12: Down To Three Tables

$1,100 No Limit Hold’em Turbo (Freeze-out)
Level 10: 1,000/2,000/300 Ante

Zo Karim would be so jealous.

As Event 11 and its one-hour blind levels drag on, the fifteen minute levels in this event are flying by and we have already hit the 27 player mark.  Three tables remain in play with a large group of top pros still alive including Darryll Fish, Sam Panzica, Dan Weinman, Ory Hen, Alex Bolotin and Aaron Massey.

It may be lighting quick but it could be another all-star final table worth watching as long as it lasts tonight.
