The gambler, Chris Amaral
Chris Amaral was down to under 10,000 chips last night with over 30 people left in the field and was trying to offer people 10:1 on $100 that he would make the final table. Some peopple took up the bet with him. He has now made the final table and already been paid from one of the people that placed the bet with him. Amaral was also promised a pair of velcro shoes from the man because his laces kept getting snagged up on the table legs and chair legs last night. Those are still yet to be received.
If that's not enough of a gamble, Amaral has offered Matt Hawrilenko a bet for $1,000 that it will be Hawrilenko and Amaral heads up. Amaral wants 20:1 on the bet and Hawrilenko has been thinking about it. Amaral even said he's post with Hawrilenko and tossed ten $100 bills on the table saying, "I want you to know what it feels like to hold onto my $1,000." Hawrilenko has yet to accept the bet.
From under the gun, Stewart Yancik raised. Michele Limongi called, Matt Hawrilenko called from the cutoff, Zac Fellows called from the button, and then Timothy Finne called from the big blind.

He was informed he could make it 33,000 and did so. Finne folded, Limongi folded, and then Hawrilenko called.
The turn was the and Hawrilenko checked. Fellows fired and bet and Hawrilenko folded, giving Fellows the side pot. He then tabled against Yancik's . The river was the and that was it for Yancik, as he finished in 9th place.
