| Frank Sgambato (Rockdale, RI) |
He's made all-in moves numerous times, doubling up on a few occasions but for the most part he's yet to be looked up and after the elimination of Jay Feingold in 5th place, he'd make another all-in move and this time would get looked up, again, by PJ Caruso.
Caruso would have Frank dominated [Ah][Qs] to Frank's [Ks][Qc] and he'd have the hand locked up on the turn as the board ran out [6c][7s][9d][Ad][Qh].
Frank had held on with a short stack for the better part of today and while we aren't going to make any assumptions, as it was a standard play from his position with his chip stack, but the tension of the moment seemed to be lifted as soon as we made that pay jump to forth place as everyone at the Final Table was guaranteed at least $30,000.
That's what Sgambato would take home for his efforts, more than tripling his previous career live earnings mark in the process.
The final three players are all pretty deeply stacked and very closely stacked as Fred Paradis just bluff shoved his stack to take a decent pot off of PJ Caruso to bring himself up to their standing.
Each player is on either side of the chip average as we have an "level playing field" as we continue to play down to a CPPT Main Event Champion.
