Big Stax 1100 (Day 3): 10th Place - Nacht ($6,622)

Level 25 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 428
Players Remaining: 9

Steve Nacht (Paramus, NJ) - 10th Place ($6,622)

It wouldn't take long for Joseph Galazzo to get right back in action, as he opened the very next pot after doubling up Tom Maguire.  Both Perry and Novak folded behind, with action then on Steve Nacht.  Nacht took both hands and pushed his stacks across the line, and players quickly folded their cards, waiting to see what Galazzo would do.  Joseph asked for a count from the dealer, and was told the number was 920,000.  The player known as "Mush" to many of his friends made the call, but dropped his head in disappointment, seeing once again that he'd be behind in a critical all-in situation:

Nacht: A♠ K
Galazzo: AJ♠

Runout: 8 J Q♠ 3 9♣

"I'm going to use my one time now," Nacht said jokingly, looking over and smiling at Tom Maguire.  Joseph told him that he wasn't going to need it, but that wouldn't be the case after he flopped one of his three outs.  Nacht reacted very well to busting the tournament, smiling as he got up and wishing the rest of the players good luck.  Galazzo ends up not only recouping the chips he lost in the pot with Maguire, but padding his chip stack a little bit more.

This would be the third recorded cash of Nacht's career, and the largest as well to date.  His earnings are now north of $10,000, and he can say he notched his first cash here at Parx as well.
