Jack Ranallo

With six players remaining and five advancing, it took a little time to get in the money. They made it most of the way through Level 15 with a few all-ins but no calls.

Then there was a three-way pot with the board reading JcJs7s. Jack Ranallo checked from the small blind, Joseph Parris bet 17,000 from the cutoff, the button called, and Jack Ranallo check/raised to 50,000. Parrish called, the button moved all in for 174,000 total and Ranallo called.

Ranallo: QsJh
Button: JdTs

Both flopped trip jacks but the button had kicker issues with his ten. The 2h turn and 5h river finished the board to put the last five players in the money and on to Day 2.

  1. Jack Ranallo – 638,500
