Mark Flowers Eliminated in 10th Place ($71,441)

[user40108]

Mark Flowers made it 55,000 pre-flop and Dario Minieri reraised to 185,000 from the small blind. With a wave of his hands Mark moved all in and Dario instantly called. The pot was 1,370,000 which is the biggest of the tournament so far. Mark had 255,000 left over so it was Dario's tournament life at risk.

The board was dealt {2-Spades}

and the roof was nearly lifted off the casino by the Dario fans on the rail.

The very next hand Mark open pushed for his remaining 255,000 from UTG. Dag Palovic insta-called in the seat next to him and everyone else folded. Dag had {K-Spades}

against Mark's {3-Hearts}

. A

flop brought an unnecessary scream from Palovic. The turn was the {4-Spades}

giving Mark some outs but the {2-Spades}

brought more screaming, shouting, and dancing from Palovic as he locked up the pot and sent Mark Flowers to the rail to collect his 10th-place prize of ($71,441).
