Michael Chiapetta (Boca Raton, FL) is just over two months removed from a deep run in the Lucky Hearts Poker Open $3,500 NLH Main Event (10th Place - $49,680).

Passing Table 9, we spotted a hand between Michael Chiapetta (Boca Raton, FL) and John Ambrosi.  The players were on the turn of a board that read K♠ 10♣ 4♠ K♥, with Chiapetta just having shoved for his remaining 21,000.  Ambrosi quickly made the call (for less), and eagerly awaited to see what he was up against.  Michael sheepishly turned over 6♥ 6♠, with Ambrosi looking back at the board, almost confused with what he saw.  John then turned over A♦ K♣, meaning Michael just two outs remaining in the deck to win...once of which came on the river (6♣).

"That's just sick," Keith Nassetta said aloud, as John Ambrosi stood from the table, and began his walk towards the exit.  Chiapetta, who is a tournament veteran with over $352,000 in career earnings, is now  over 60,000.

Michael Chiapetta - 64,000 (213bb)

Players will be taking their second break at the end of this level, returning to new blinds of 200/400/50 (Level 5).
