"January $100,000 II" (Day 2): "Why...Why...Why Does This Happen To Me?"

"January $100,000 II"
$250 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 18 (Blinds 3,000/6,000/500)
Total Entries: 867
Players Remaining: 100


John Magnetta (Boca Raton, FL) saved his little dance routine for after his opponent left the tournament area, as he saw that the loss wasn't going over so well emotionally.

John Magentta (Boca Raton, FL) has some "antics" at the table that sometimes get under his opponents skin, but just now...it was the cards that left his adversary shaking his head.  Approaching Table 9, three players would be on a flop of 2 4 5, with Paul Winters betting 25,000.  Magnetta made the call from the big blind, with a third player check-shoving for close to 80,000.  Winters folded his hand, with Magnetta quickly making the call (putting the player at risk), and turning over J 3 (combo draw).  The unknown player in the hand showed Q♠ Q, and didn't have to wait long to be drawing dead, as Magnetta turned the 6.  

"Does this mean I'm out," Magnetta's opponent asked the deal, who shook his head in confirmation.  "Why....why," the player yelled out as he walked away from the table.  "Why does this happen every time," he continued yelling, as he went down the escalator, ranting for all to hear.  The pot helped Magnetta cross the 400,000 mark, and puts him in the top ten of the (100) players that remain.

John Magnetta - 420,000 (70bb)
