Event 1: 5th Place - Polito

Event 1 - $500 + $60 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em  

Brian Polito (Cranford, NJ)
$93,289

Brian Polito (utg) got his all-in called by Walt English (bb).

Brian's A5 was slightly ahead of Walt's K9 suited.

The flop came 9 7 5, giving both a pair, but giving Walt the lead.  Then the last two fell J A and the Ace on the river gave Brian Aces-up to double-up to ~5 million.

Walt was left with ~700k and put it in on the next hand against Dan Wach.

Dan's 87 suited failed to beat Walt's Q5 off on a board of A Q 6 9 K and Walt doubled up.

Walt doubled up again on the next hand with KT against 96.  He was back up over 4 million.

 Brian Polito got all-in holding pocket 5s against Dan Wach's pocket 9s.  The better pair held up and Dan took the pot.

Brian will collect $93,289 for 5th place.
