Donnie D'Auria Eliminated in 11th Place ($64,477)

Donnie D’Auria sits out one hand, and then calls all in from middle position for 10,000. Cornel Andrew Cimpan limps from the cutoff for 30,000, Mark Bryan completes the small blind, and Pat Walsh checks his option in the big blind. 

The flop comes [Jc9c7h], Bryan checks, Walsh bets 110,000, and everyone else folds. Walsh takes the side pot, and shows [Jd5d] for a pair of jacks. D’Auria shows [AdQd], and he’ll need to improve to stay alive. 

The turn is the [5s], the river is the [2s], and Walsh wins the main pot. Donnie D’Auria is eliminated in 11th place, earning $64,477. 

Donnie D’Auria earned his entry into this tournament by winning a WPT Season Pass at a WPT Boot Camp. That gave him entry into ten WPT tournaments, and this was his first. He’s planning to enter the WPT Bay 101 tournament next week, and we wish him luck there as well. 

Pat Walsh  –  1,750,000
Donnie D’Auria  –  Out in 11th Place ($64,477)
