| Ryan Gianquitti (Lake Worth, FL) 10th Place - $7,549 |
About (10) minutes before break, Ryan Gianquitti was all-in and as risk holding A Q against Alex Nguyen's A K. Things looked pretty bleak for Ryan, but there would be a queen in the window, and he would survive and double up. His (10) big blinds stack was now a manageable (25) bigs, and he could now focus on chipping up...rather than doubling up. Only four hands later though, he would be out of the tournament.
AJ Gambino would open from early position to 65,000, with Edward Novak three-betting to 190,000, next to act. Action folded around to Gianquitti, who would announce that he was all-in (for just under 700,000). Gambino took a few minutes before folding, and after a quick peek back at his cards, Novak made the call:
Novak: K♠ K♣
Gianquitti: A♣ A♦
Runout: K♦ 9♦ 6♥ 2♠ 4♣
Gianquitti would experience the variance that was just on his side minutes ago, and after Novak found his one-outer on the flop (Paul Balzano said he folded a king), Ryan would be collecting his $7,549.
