Tony Mucci (Boca Raton, FL) 

Tony Mucci (Boca Raton, FL) earned another stress-free double up just moments ago, as he held A♠ Q♥ on an A♣ Q♣ Q♦ flop.  Mucci called a bet on the flop, and after the 6 on the turn, watched as his opponent decided to shove for close to 50,000.  Tony quickly announced a call, and could do no worse than a chop, being up against A♥ K♠.  A nine fell on the river, and Mucci would get pushed the pot worth over 100,000.

Mucci may lack an extensive tournament resume, but it's because most of his time playing poker is spent at the cash tables.  The five-figures that's going to be up top in this tournament is more than anyone will ever see in a session of 2/5 NLH, so it's safe to say that a deep run in this tournament would be a poker playing highlight.  But nobody can make a deep run without bagging chips, so Tony will work towards that goal, as five levels remain in the flight.
