When the river comes the [2s], Rosarbo again checks, the button shoves all in, and Rosarbo quickly calls, turning over [ad][as].

The button says, "You win," as he turns over [7h][8h].

Rosarbo is awarded a full double up, and is now sitting with 55,000 in chips.

Both players check the [qc] turn. 

When the [7d] comes on the river, the small blind checks, and Smallbone shoves all in for 3,675.  The small blind thinks for over a minute before ultimately folding [ah][qs] (two pair) face up. 

Smallbone does not show his cards.

Event #8 - Russell Sanzeri Eliminated By Steve Happas

Sanzeri: [qc][10c] (pair of tens)
Happas: [ac][ad] (set of aces)

The [kh] comes on the river, sending Sanzeri home just short of the money.

Nearing the Money Bubble in Event #8 ($400 NLH PPC)

We are now down to just 69 players, with 63 of them making the money in Event #8. 

Event #8 - John Yanni Eliminated By John Dimeglio

John Dimeglio Contemplates His Decision
Action folds around to Matthew Sedgeman in the cutoff who raises to 11,000.  The button folds, and with action on John Yanni in the small blind, he shoves all in. 

John Dimeglio asks for a count in the the big blind.  Upon hearing the total of 60,500 he says, "I need a minute here guys." 

After a minute of thinking about it, Dimeglio reshoves over the top of Yanii, and the original raiser Sedgeman folds his hand. 

Dimeglio: [ad][qd]
Yanni: [7c][7s]

The [jh][8d][4c] flop is safe for Yanni, but unfortunately the [qc] turn gives Dimeglio a higher pair.  The [kd] on the river does not improve his hand, and Yanni is sent home within ten players of making the money.  

Event #8 - Bruce Peterson Doubles Through Dan Fairweather


On a board reading [10h][8c][4h], Bruce Peterson is all in and has been called by Dan Fairweather.

Peterson:  [qd][10d]
Fairweather: [ah][ks]

The [10c] on the turn and [2d] on the river ensures a full double up for Peterson.

"How do you call pre there," Fairweather asks as Peterson is stacking his chips. 

Bruce Peterson - 125,000
Dan Fairweather - 150,000
