Event 1 (Flight 1E): Rami Runs Good With The Last Second Entry

"Battles At The Beach"

Event 1 ($175 No Limit Hold'em $125,000 GTD)

Level 11 (Blinds 600/1,200/200)

Total Flight 1E Entries: 132

Rami Ezra (Hallandale Beach, FL)

Of the (132) entries in this flight, Rami Ezra (Hallandale Beach, FL) was the absolute final entry into the field.  On the first hand of Level 9, Ezra was all-in and at risk, but happened to sit down to pocket ace...and doubled up.  Rami would pick up a few sizable pots over the course of the next (40) minutes, and after Francis Margaglione opened to 4,000 moments ago, Ezra would make the call in a heads-up pot.

The dealer placed down a flop of 10♥ 3♥ 3♦, with Ezra open-shoving for 104,000...almost ten times pot.  Francis snap-called, but was disgusted when he saw Ezra roll over J♣ 3♣, leaving his J♥ J♠ looking for some serious help.  The turn and river would close the door on those hopes, and Ezra would take the chip lead with over 200,000.

Margaglione was left with only 8,500, but in the matter of only four hands, is back up to 70,000.
