Evan Ross' Run

Evan Ross, a local player from Denver, CO, has had quite the Cinderella story.

Ross has only had one HPT Main Event cash when he finished in 28th here in Black Hawk in September 2014, taking home his biggest cash on record: $5,546.

There weren't many expectations for him coming into the restart today, especially with him starting 86th in chips.  But here he is, in the top 11, crushing his personal best.

He just busted out Mike Trujillo.  Ross raised to 65,000 pre-flop and gets shoved on my Trujillo for 294,000.  Ross makes the call.

Board:      

Ross:   
Trujillo:   

Trujillo is out in 13th and Ross now sits with 1,140,000.

Level - 24
