| Bobby Corcione (Bellingham, MA) |
The action was picked up pre-flop with PJ Caruso opening to 75,000.
Fred Paradis would then three-bet to 220,000 from the button and Corcione would then move all-in for less from the big blind.
Caruso would take close to a minute and a half to make up his mind, eventually calling to send three players to the flop.
While Caruso took his time make his decisions pre-flop, he wasted no time announcing himself "all-in" after the flop of [6c][9d][Qd], immediately making his verbal declaration.
Paradis sat in the tank for a minute and then shook his head before folding.
The card were tabled and Caruso held [4c][4h] for the current best hand, with Corcione needing to his one of his two overs as he held [As][Kd].
That wouldn't happen as the turn bricked out and the [4d] came on the river, locking up the pot and eliminating Corcione.
Paradis said he also held big slick, something Corcione certainly didn't like to hear as he was drawing to less outs than he thought and if Caruso hadn't called the bet after a three-bet and all-in shove, he'd have chopped the pot and still be alive in this CPPT Main Event.
Instead, he's the first player out of this "official" Final Table making just over $9,000 for his deep Main Event run.
Caruso is now suddenly one of the chip leaders at this Final Table, currently playing 1,200,000.
