Event 1: Protecting the Innocent

$400 + $50 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

"This game makes me hate the human race," says Ryan Eriquezzo (Danbury, CT) who just lost a 90k pot. " I wish an asteroid would come down and destroy us all."

Eriquezzo's frustration comes when he moves all in on the turn with a pair of aces and his opponent calls with a pair of 5s.  The river is another 5 and the player who wishes to remain anonymous wins the hand with trip 5s.

The hand cripples Eriquezzo to 12k who retaliates my moving all in blindly over the next few hands. "Where do these people come from," he rants, "Put in the blog Ryan gets smashed again. Unbelievable."

Eriquezzo's stack comes to an end when he drops his last 5k to James "Suits" Salters (West Hempstead, NY) who takes advantage of the re-entry as level 6 is winding down.
