Ryan Dodd opened from the cutoff and Yaser Al-Keliddar three-bet shoved from the button. Dodd called with a bigger stack.

Yaser Al-Keliddar: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Ryan Dodd: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

"Queen ball!" yelled Al-Keliddar before the dealer put down the flop of {10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} that gave his opponent a set before the board finished out {8-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} to improve him to a no-good top pair.

"I made a pair," Al-Keliddar said glumly as he exited.

Anthony Spinella Eliminated in 13th Place ($13,363)

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Anthony Spinella
Anthony Spinella

Anthony Spinella opened for 715,000 under the gun. It folded to Benedetto Bianco in the small blind who raised all in to force Spinella to put in his last 5,000 chip which he did after waiting for a while.

Spinella was dominated as he had the {q-Spades}{8-Spades} while Bianco had the {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} much to the dismay of everyone watching to send Spinella into the lead. The turn was the {7-Diamonds} but the river delighted everyone again as the {a-Clubs} came off to bust Spinella and end his night.

Bianco then went over to hype up his bounty draw as he had a 1 in 12 chance to draw the $250,000. But it was another $500 as he cursed his luck.
