Event 22: 5th Place - Iraj

$400 + $50 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

John Iraj - (Garden City, NY)

$5,378

John's a radiologist and had a meeting set in Queens for 7am.  He was a little concerned that this tournament might go later than expected.  The good news is he'll make his meeting.  The bad news is he didn't reach his 1st Place goal.

Still a good cash for John who had a ton of hope on the turn only to be felted on the river.

John was all in pre-flop with K-4 up against K-8 of Tony Ruberto (Boston, MA)

Board ran: 6-7-5-3-4

John hit his straight on the turn but Tony hit a bigger straight on the river.

Final Four are on a five minute break.
