The board ran out 10-2-4-5-3 giving both players the wheel straight and a chopped pot. Sandi placed 6th and is on a heater, with her\u00a0<i>third<\/i>\u00a0consecutive final table seat.<\/p>\n<p>Cathy Seferi skillfully played pocket aces, which gave her a triple up at level 11, leading her to a 5th place seat.<\/p>\n<p>Christine La Monaca was next, as she shoved her remaining big blind all in with 9-7 against Joe&#8217;s K-8. The board ran out with two Kings, sending her\u00a0home in 4th place, and adding points to her standings as a WSOP contender.<\/p>\n<p>Sheng Xie was next out in 3rd place, with a visual on the Vegas seat as well.<\/p>\n<p>Scanning the final table, Joe and Troy could be seen battling it out- heads up. Joe was in the lead with a large (approx. 6:1) chip advantage to Troy&#8217;s less than 20K stack. The pivotal hand was Troy&#8217;s K-7 Diamonds vs Joe&#8217;s A-4: the board runs out with three 3&#8217;s, then a 7 on the river, giving Troy a full house, leaving only one thing on his mind\u2014seek and desTroy.<\/p>\n<p>The final hand was an all-in pre-flop with Joe&#8217;s 10-6 of hearts against Troy&#8217;s AK unsuited. Joe paired his 6 which was no escape to Troy&#8217;s paired king.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/piranhapokerteam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/image1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2213\" src=\"http:\/\/piranhapokerteam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/image1-1024x861.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/piranhapokerteam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/image1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/piranhapokerteam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/image1-300x252.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/piranhapokerteam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/image1-768x646.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Congrats to Troy and all of the players!
