Luca Pagano Eliminated

With the board reading {7-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {3-Spades} {2-Diamonds} on the turn, Luca Pagano moved all in for 35,000 and Wayne Brown made the call. It was a set-over-set cooler, with Brown holding {7-Clubs} {7-Spades} to Pagano's {3-Clubs} {3-Hearts}. The river was the {9-Hearts} and the young Italian hit the rail while Brown's stack passed 133,000.

A student at Michigan Tech, Brown won his seat to the Main Event in an $8 super-satellite on Full Tilt Poker. He turned 21 only a month ago and both of his parents made the trip out to Vegas to sweat him.
