| John Magnetta (Boca Raton, FL) is known for his "over the top" celebrations, but he happened to be very quiet after winning the largest pot of the tournament. |
Table 9 would be approached with John Magnetta and Steve Klein heads-up, on a flop of 7♠ 2♠ 2♦. With almost 60,000 in the pot, Klein would sit with a 60,000 bet in front of him. Magnetta was deep in the tank, cutting out his chips...stacking them up, and cutting them out again (a few different times). After close to two minutes, John pushed forward a raise to 200,000, which looked to come as a surprise to Klein. Steve looked at the tournament clock, and assessed by stacks, as both players started the hand with close to 500,000. Klein eventually decided to shove, with Magnetta quickly making the call:
Magnetta: A♣ A♦
Klein: A♠ 7♦
Turn: 9♠
River: 4♦
John was in supreme shape when the cards were turned over, but had to deal with the ultimate sweat, as Klein turned outs to a flush. The 4♦ on the river sealed the pot for Magnetta, which happened to be the largest of the tournament. Magnetta's usual "boom" celebration wasn't broke out, leading us to believe that he is saving it for later in the tournament.
John Magnetta - 1,100,000 (68bb)
