Bruce Snell (Okeechobee, FL)

With three tables still remaining, Bruce Snell would open the action at Table 4 with a raise to 4,000.  Enrique Riesco took a look at his holding, and verbalized announced all-in, while grabbing chips with two hands and pounding them on the felt.  The players behind all folded, and Bruce would make the call for 24,000, having Riesco covered.

Rescue quickly turned over 2♠ 2♣, and would be in rough shape against Snell's 7♦ 7♥.  The 5♠ 6♥ 7♠ flop left little hope for Enrique, who was drawing dead on the turn.  Snell chipped up to 57,000 with the pot, and looks to continue the heat down the stretch (with five levels to play).

Bruce Snell - 57,000
