Ryan Gianquitti (Lake Worth, FL)

At Table 10, Ryan Gianquitti opened pre to 1,200, with Bradley Hinson flatting the button.  After the small blind folded, Derrick Cutler three-bet to 4,000 from the big, with Gianquitti and Hinson making the call.  The three watched as the dealer fanned out a 3♦ 6♠ 5♦ flop, with Cutler continuing with a 5,000 bet.  The two players both called once again, and after the board paired with the 3♣ on the turn, Cutler decided to check.  Ryan then put out of bet of 7,100, which was called by Hinson, and elicited a fold from Cutler. The river would bring the 8♥, and instead of going for what he thought would have been thin value, Ryan decided to check.  Hinson checked back, and watched Gianquitti roll over Q♦ Q♥.

The pocket queens would be good to take down the 43,000 chip pot, allowing Ryan to chip up to just over 87,000.

Ryan Gianquitti - 87,400

Bradley Hinson - 20,000
