Chris DeMaci Eliminated in 11th Place ($56,140)
Action folded to Nick Grippo on the button and he put in a standard raise to 45,000. Chris DeMaci was next to act in the small blind and he went with a three-bet to 153,000. The big blind got out of the way and Grippo simply moved all in. DeMaci called off and the cards were turned on their backs.

As with all no-limit hold'em tournaments, so many all-in situations were simply a flip. DeMaci no doubt had high hopes for his over, but the flop wasn't any help. The turn left DeMaci in need of an ace or jack on the river, but it was not meant to be as the blanked.
Grippo's small pocket pair held to vault him over 2 million while DeMaci was eliminated in 11th place, earning his fourth cash of the 2011 WSOP in the process.
