Bruno Portaro Eliminated in 17th Place ($1,704)

Bruno Portaro - 17th Place
Bruno Portaro - 17th Place
Bruno Portaro came in with a raise, and Matt Hawker reraised enough to put his man all in. Portaro made the call, and his tournament life was on the line with {K-Diamonds} {J-Spades}. He was racing for a double up against Hawker's {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}.

Portaro was slightly behind and things only got worse as the dealer ran out the community cards: {8-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {J-Hearts}. Managing to finally find a pair on the river, Portaro was already drawing dead to Hawker's flush on the turn. He moves up to 133,000 in chips, eliminating Bruno Portaro in 17th place.
