Event 19: Hand-for-Hand Play

$200 + $30 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

 (l-r) Cartagena, Curtis, Floor Supervisor Vincent & Cotto 

73 players remain and we're one spot from the money. 

Lots of small stacks are sweating their all ins, but are staying alive.

Juan Cartagena (New York , NY) doubles 25k with A♠ 2♠ vs 9♥ 9♠ when he flops an ace.

On the next hand at the same table, Frank Curtis (Vineland, NJ) plays his hand "dark" and three other players check down the board of 6 9 J 10 6. Without knowing what he has, Curtis turns over J 4 for the winning pair of jacks.

The table, led by Danny Cotto (Camden, NJ) and his fist bumps, erupts with joy and amusement as Curtis gets a 12k quadruple-up.

The remaining nine tables continue hand-for-hand play to prevent stalling.

Blinds 6k/12k/2k ante
