Andy D’alessandro, known to many around Playground simply as “Coach,” was the next to leave the final table. After waiting patiently for a good spot, the blinds eventually caught up, and he chose to take his chances with suited connectors when down to less than five big blinds. With the blinds at 5K/10K, the action had been opened by Isham Yamani from late position. It quickly folded to D’alessandro in the big blind who moved all in for his last 44,000. The call was made and hands were tabled.
D’alessandro: 
Yamani: 
The board provided a bit of a sweat when D’alessandro turned a straight draw, but in the end ace high prevailed and Coach hit the rail in ninth place. He will collect $1,650.00 for the deep run.
