Pitesa Enters, Quickly Doubles; While Friedman, Others Eliminated

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Anthony Pitesa entered the tournament during the last break and has quickly doubled his stack and then some.

After Harvey Alegado opened, Pitesa jammed for 34,500, which got a call from Alegado. Pitesa's time in the tournament was potentially very short-lived.

Anthony Pitesa: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Harvey Alegado: {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}

The board came {6-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{k-Clubs}, pairing Pitesa's ace, which would hold up to give him a double up.

Meanwhile, Adam Friedman was among a pair of others to be eliminated at adjacent tables.
