David Gerassi is Back for More After Reaching a Final Table Earlier in the Series

David Gerassi is a talkative fellow no matter how he's running, as we've heard him relay the details of his wins and losses with relish, seeming to savor the details of a poker hand no matter if he won or lost.

On a recent pass through the room, Gerassi was kind enough to fill us in on the details of a recent hand that pushed him over 245,000 and padded an already large stack.

Gerassi told us that he held {A-Spades}{7-Spades} and called a 3,500 open to see the flop, which came down {k-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Spades}. With the nut flush draw, Gerassi pounded the pot and bet 6,000 after a check to him. When Gerassi's opponent flatted out of position, the turn came {2-Clubs} to increase Gerassi's selection of outs - as he could now spike a three to make the wheel straight.

The other player in the hand checked for a second time, and Gerassi made it 6,000 to play, only to see the man to his right shove all in for about 35,000 more.

The glee with which Gerassi told us that he "insta-called it with nothing" recalled the time another player told Gerassi he was "a sick, sick man," and it was obvious how his story would end.

"The... it was the eight of spades that come," Gerassi said with a laugh, letting us know that he is beginning to run like he did this past week while rampaging his way to a final table appearance.
