“I’ve had so many good hands, and you’re going to put that one on (the blog),” says Rodney Dillehay (Clearwater, FL) after jumping into the chip lead with nearly 800k.
Dillehay opens the action to 25k and Seth Gurian (Valrico, FL), who’s been on Dillehay’s left all day, moves all in for 155k.
Dillehay tanks for a few seconds before making the call.
“Dominated,” says Dillehay, when he sees his is crushed by .
But when a Queen flops to give Dillehay the winner, he breaths a sigh of relief and simply says, “lucky,” as his stack goes to 790k.
Gurian knows he’s a 2-1 favorite preflop and simply shrugs his shoulders and heads to the payout line in 53rd place for $393.
“I’m looking forward to seeing Nick “the suit” at the final table,” says Dillehay.
Nick Tzoumas (Trinity, FL ) is among the big stacks with 635k, while Alan Korpi (Lutz, FL) is a top five stack with 590k.

Nicholas Mahabee (Miami, FL) is in the money and celebrating with a big piece of cake from Rise bakery. He’s got a healthy stack and is poised for a deep run.
Also making the money is Curtis DeHart (Melbourne, FL) who didn’t play a hand today.
DeHart was a no-show, but with 65k blinded his way into the money. He even jumped into the second pay level, and was one spot away from the third, with an 82nd place finish for $266.
Returning short stack Matt Ball (Tampa, FL) wasn’t as fortunate. He doubled his 12k early, but it wasn’t enough to survive. Ball is a Seminole Hard Rock Tampa regular who we featured earlier this year as the area’s #1 Dad.
