"August $100,000" (Flight 1A): Marinacci Eliminates A Pair, Chips Up To Double Average

"August $100,000 GTD"
$150 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
Level 10 (Blinds 500/1,000/100)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 84
Flight 1A Players Remaining: 43


John Marinacci (Boca Raton, FL) 

Table 10 was approached just as the pre-flop action was completed in a multi-way all-in pot.  John Marinacci (Boca Raton, FL) was all-in with A♣ K♠, and had two players at risk (one of which was Terry Siele).  Siele held K♣ 10♠, and the third player in the hand held Q 2, making Marinacci a small favorite heading to the flop.  The lead would quickly change though, after the dealer fanned out a flop of 9♠ 3 2.  Marinacci would have five outs heading to the river, as the 7♣ on the turn didn't help his situation.  John did end up spiking a king on the river, eliminating both of his opponents, and chipping up to 70,000.

Marinacci is in the midst of his best statistical year of tournament poker, with over $16,000 in earnings to date.  Six of his fifteen cashes have come in 2017, with four of them final table finishes (sixth or better).
