Players Remaining: 12

John Del Rossi (Manton, NJ)
13th Place - $2,939

The action was already on the turn, with Mike Azzaro first to act on a board of J♣ 3♣ 6♣ 9♥.  Azzaro bet out 240,000 and after some long deliberation, Del Rossi made the call.  After the 2♥ on the river, Azzaro announced he was all-in (having Del Rossi covered), and John called pretty quickly.  Mike turned over the A♣ 5♣ (flopped the nuts), and Del Rossi would be left to collect his money for the 13th place finish ($2,939).
