Doudney vs. Pellegrino: It's Over

Nathan Doudney - Advances
Nathan Doudney - Advances
Nathan Doudney raised from the button, and Bryan Pellegrino reraised from the big blind. Doudney moved all in, and Pellegrino quickly called.

Showdown
Doudney: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}
Pellegrino: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}

The two men had the same hand and were poised for a split. The flop was a big knot in Pellegrino's stomach though, as it came out {9-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {4-Hearts} to give his opponent the flush draw. Pellegrino stood up from his chair and walked over to the rail with his back turned as the dealer put out the turn.

{K-Hearts}

"There it is!" said Doudney, and Pellegrino just lowered his head. The {A-Diamonds} was meaningless on the river, and Nathan Doudney has come from behind to win his match, advancing on to the Final Four.

Bryan Pellegrino put on a great show over the past three days, but his effort comes up just short. He'll walk away with more than $90,000 for his work, but he is visibly disappointed with that result.
