Event 4: 5th Place - Dragone

$400 + $50 Big Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

 Mario Dragone (Totowa, NJ)
$6,931

Blinds: 20k/40k, 4k ante  

In a battle of the blinds, Mario Dragone (sb) was all-in pre-flop against Mohammed Hakim (bb).  Mario's pocket Aces were way ahead of Mohammed's T 3.

The flop came A T 3, giving Mohammed two pair, but giving Mario a set of Aces.  The last two were 5 6 and Mario doubled up.

The same two tangled on the next orbit.  Mario (sb) had AJ and was all in on the river with a board of A 8 2 5 A (trip Aces).  Mohammed (bb) had 43, however, for the wheel to take the pot.

Mario Dragone finished in 5th place, earning $6,931.
