Russians11 Finale   “Leave the HORSE, Take the Stromboli”, Part IX,   Or, the Cold War Isn’t Over   #1107 – 2010 WSOP #88

At least Al Barbieri made the final table. I kept an eye on the HORSE updates all evening and when I saw they were three-handed and Barbieri had the chip lead, I raced to the Rio for the finish.
