Lucky Loizzo

Dan Loizzo makes it 20,00, then it is Ben Freeman from the SB making it 70,000 to go. Loizzo hesitates, sees with a call both players are going to have equal stacks a bit less than what's going to be in the pot.

Yep, pretty good chance the chips get in the middle at some point in the hand if he calls.

Loizzo finds a call, then both players check the J-5-3 flop.

Freeman moves all in on the 8 turn and Loizzo slips in to the tank, weighing his potions. the dealer counts out the stack, 124,000, and Loizzo looks to be almost exactly the same.

He finds the call, sees turn over AK .. and Loizzo shows QJ.

The Jack holds and Loizzo has him covered by less than one SB.

Freeman finishes 16th, cashing for $2,617.

Loizzo moves to 400,000.

Nikolaos Kalogris is out in 15th, cashing for $3,315 and some change.
