Ronnie Korman (Deerfield Beach, FL)

The action at Table 9 was approached in a hand (on a flop of 10♣ 6♥ 7♣) between Ronnie Korman and Joseph Mancuso, with the latter all-in for 13,575, and Korman deep in the tank.  "You have a monster, don't you," Korman said to Joseph, who just shrugged in reaction.  Eventually Ronnie would push forward the chips for a call, and watched as Mancuso tabled K♣ K♦.

"That's alright, all I need is an eight or a nine," Korman said as he tabled 9♥ 6♦.  The 8♣ would come right on the turn, leaving Mancuso drawing to a club on the river.  The wrong deuce (2♠) came on this river, sending Joseph to the rail.  Ronnie would chip up to 46,000 with the pot, and is looking to record his first tournament result in close to five years.
