Event 15: 5th Place - D'Alessandro

$400 + $50 Omaha H/L 8B

Tim D'Alessandro (Boothwyn, PA) 
$2,635

Another former champion is on the rail as D'Alessandro goes from the chip lead to the rail.  D'Alessandro hit a flush on the turn, but the board pairs on the river to give Luigi Grilla a full house.

"It just shows that if you don't run well and don't hit cards it can go that fast," says the health and life insurance broker.  "It's not like I don't know what I'm doing, it just didn't work out."

D'Alessandro won this event during the 2011 Borgata Winter Poker Open, but this time has to settle for fifth place and $2,635.
