Event 8: 5th Place - Hanley

$350 + $50 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Ryan Hanley (Mahway, NJ)
$11,027

Blinds 60k/120k/20k ante
On the first hand back from break the flop is 6 7 8 with two hearts, Hanley checks. Joey Liberta (Berlin, NJ) bets 400k, Hanley moves all in for 2 million more. Liberta snap calls and turns over pocket aces.

Hanley say's he stunned when he turns over K 10, "I thought I had two hearts," he says expecting to have a flush draw. Hanley is stuck with hoping for a 9 to fill a gut shot straight draw, but doesn't connect.

Adding insult to injury is a heart on a river which if he was holding the 10 he would have made the flush.

Hanley is out in 5th place, while Liberta takes the chip lead with 6 million.
