Event 10: "I Want a Trophy"

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

Blinds 3k/6k/500 ante

Tom Balla (UTG +1) raises to 12,500 and gets calls from Antonio Walker and Paddy Naughton before Kevin Truong annouces a raise to 80k.

Balla quickly moves all in for 143k more, forcing Walker and Naughton to fold and putting Truong in the tank.

Truong eventually calls, both players flip over AK and they chop the pot.

When asked if he would've called a preflop shove instead of the 80k raise, Balla says, "I'm not here to lather up, I want to win a trophy."

Nine-handed play continues to grind on with the average stack at 222k (37 bb) as the entire table agrees the that great structure is allowing for a lot play at the final table.
