Event 4: Stuck at 20

$500 + $60 NL

As the level was coming to an end, Harry Piacitelli (Plymouth Meeting, PA) was the short-stack and the big blind.  He moved all-in over the top of an utg raise. 

He was all-in for 8,900 more than the raise and the opener decided to call, showing 87 suited.  Harry was ahead with K9 off. 

The flop came J 4 2 and changed nothing.  Then a 7 came on the turn, giving his opponent a pair.  Harry was 6 outs away from busting. 

Then the river delivered a 9, giving Harry the better pair and the double-up to ~45k.

The 20 remaining players were sent on a break and will return to blinds of 2k/4k with 400 antes.

Average stack is 117k.
