Dan Chalifour raises to 5,000 in the hijack, and Andrew Dean calls on the button, as does Ralph Macri in the big blind.

The flop comes 7♠2♣2. Macri checks, Chalifour bets 7,000, and Dean raises to 21,000. Macri quickly folds, and Chalifour confirms the 21,000 total before calling.

The turn is the 6. This time Chalifour opts to check, and it's Dean's turn to bet.

"How much do you have behind?" Dean asks Chalifour.

Chalifour lifts his arms up to show Dean his chip stack, totaling around 45,000.  Dean pauses for about 15 seconds before grabbing a stack of blue 5k chips, announcing that he is all in, and moving the chips forward.

Charlifour thinks for over a minute, looks down at his chip stack, and then opts to fold.

Andrew Dean - 135,000 (67 bb)
Dan Chalifour - 45,000 (22 bb)

The turn is the 6. The first player checks, Yi bets 4,000, and his opponent makes it 12,000. Yi pauses for a few seconds before calling the raise.

The river is the 2♠,  and this time the player in early position bets out 20,000. Yi pauses for about 15 seconds, and then calls.

Event #1, Flight B - "Sometimes Bad Things Don't Happen to Good People," Says Ralph Macri

Level:  9
Blinds:  300/600
Ante: 100
Current Entries: 142
Current Players Remaining: 106
Average Chip Stack: 26,792
Feature Table Live Stream Link: https://www.twitch.tv/foxwoodspoker

A player in early position raises to 1,200, and Ralph Macri defends in the big blind.

The flop comes 9♠42. Macri checks, his opponent bets 3,500, and Macri calls.

The turn is the 2.  Macri checks again, his opponent bets 6,000, and Macri moves all in.  His opponent asks the dealer to pull in the 6,000, and eyes Macri's remaining 13,000. The players then looks at his chips, which total around 9,000, and moves them forward to put himself at risk.

Macri quickly turns over 102♠ for trip twos, and his opponent shows K♠K♣ for two pair.

The player needs to improve on the river, but unfortunately the river is the A♠, and the players stands up from his chair and walks away from the table.

"You should put in the blog that sometimes Ralph gets luck," one of the players not involved in the hand says jokingly to the foxwoodspoker.com blog staff standing near the table.

"You should put in there, 'Sometimes bad things DON'T happen to good people,'" Macri responds with a smile.

Ralph Macri - 44,000
