Michael Foley (Belleville, MI) 7th Place - $19,502

Michael Foley's (Belleville, MI) day may have seemed like a bad dream, watching as his leads in crucial spots would be ripped away in dramatic fashion.  While he managed to navigate his stack over less than (10) bigs for a solid while, he chose a spot moments ago to try and double.  Action would fold around to Alex Nguyen on the button, who would open to 100,000.  "You've laid down to me so many times, do I think you'll do it one more time," Foley spoke aloud, directed towards Alex.  Michael would announce that he was all-in, and Nguyen made the call:

Foley: A♠ 5♠
Nguyen: Q 9♠

Runout: 6♣ 7 2 9 Q

"I knew it," Foley said, as the nine spiked on the turn and left him looking for one of the three remaining aces.  The queen would fall on the river, basically summing up Foley's day in a nutshell.  It started with a tough runout against Alfonso Perez, and ended with the same against Nguyen.
