Niall Costigan (Lake Worth, FL) was still able to smile, even after taking a rough beat to lose a pot worth close to 28,000.

At Table 5, Niall Costigan (Lake Worth, FL) would limp from UTG+1, and watch as Lawrence Klur shoved all-in (for 12,000), from middle position.  After the rest of the table folded back to Niall, he would quickly place the chip across his cards, putting Lawrence at risk:

Costigan: J♥ J♠
Klur: 9♠ 7♠ 

Runout: A♠ 9♦ 3♣ J♦ Q♠

"I was just getting impatient," Klur said, as he tabled his cards and stood from his chair.   The runout would see him drawing dead on the turn, with Niall getting pushed the 26,000 pot.  That would bring him above 80,000, but just two hands later, Niall found himself in a very similar position.  He called another short stacked player's shove (13,000), holding 9♠ 9♥ against A♣ 10♣.  Niall faded the flop, but things got interesting after his opponent turned a club draw.  The flush would come on the river for Costigan's adversary, even with a little needle, as it was the 9♣.  Costigan still profited from the two hands, and now sits with 60,000.

Niall Costigan - 60,000 (60bb)
