Sal Fazzino Eliminated in 23rd Place (NZ$7,101)

Sal Fazzino - 23rd Place
Sal Fazzino - 23rd Place
Preflop, Richard Lancaster from the cutoff opened to 22,000 and Sal Fazzino made the call from the button.

They took a flop of {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Spades} and Lancaster fired out 25,000. Fazzino moved all in over the top and Lancaster called.

Lancaster: {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Fazzino: {K-Spades}{10-Spades}

Lancaster would have to hold up against Fazzino's straight outs. The turn {4-Clubs} and river {10-Hearts} were just what he needed and after counting down the stacks it was revealed that Lancaster had Fazzino covered by the slimmest of margins.
