| Michael Amato (Boca Raton, FL) 9th Place $14,219 |
Michael Amato (Boca Raton, FL) came into the day in the middle of the pack, but was never able to gain much traction as the day progressed. He was down to just over ten big blinds, and after the table folded around to him in the small blind, he'd shove for 420,000. Danny Shiff was in the big blind, and announced that he was going to call without looking at his second card (after peeling back an ace). Amato would turn of K♠ 4
♦, followed by Shiff tabling his A♣ 7
♦. The Q
♥ 2♠ 2♣ 8
♦ J
♥ runout would bring no help to Amato, and he would become the second player eliminated from this final table.
This deep run follows a great summer for Amato, who finished third in the $1,000 No Limit Hold'em (Event #63) at the WSOP, earning his largest ever tournament cash ($116,940).
Danny Shiff - 6,400,000
Michael Amato - 9th Place $14,219
