Joe Gualtieri is a regular player in big events here at Playground Poker Club but this has been by far his deepest run in a big tournament. He leaves in 8th place after a 3-way all-in pot between he, Alex Fortin Demers, and Joshua Keith Tucker.
Alex was down to 32K after doubling up Philippe Belley 2 hands previous, and he shipped from UTG. Joe quickly went all in over the top, and it folded around to Tucker in the big blind, who called Joe’s all-in raise.
Alex: 
Joe: 
Tucker: 
The flop hit Alex and Joe right away: 
and they both faded Joe’s outs when the 
came on the turn and river.
Alex won the main pot with his King kicker but Tucker won the much larger side pot and Joe was eliminated.
8th place: Joe Gualtieri, $5,930.00
