Bruno Portaro Eliminated in 7th Place (AU$5,600)

Bruno Portaro - 7th Place
Bruno Portaro - 7th Place
Zach Gruneberg opened with a raise from middle position to 10,000 and Bruno Portaro bumped it up to 15,000 from the big blind. Gruneberg capped the action and Portarto called.

The flop was {5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{J-Hearts} and Portaro moved all in for his last 3,850. Gruneberg called and the cards were tabled:

Gruneberg: {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Portaro: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

Portaro had flopped top set and Gruneberg would need a running miracle. The funny thing about this game is that sometimes miracles can happen. The turn brought the {9-Spades} and the crowd and other players suddenly livened as they cheered, "Ten, one time!"

Incredibly, the {10-Clubs} fell to the roars of the rail and Portaro was eliminated in devastating fashion. He'll collect AU$5,600 and a bad beat story for his efforts.
