Johnson Gets a Shove Through; Slay Chips Up With Set-Over-Set

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Kelley Slay

Action was heads-up with over 10,000 in the pot and {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts} on the board when Vincent Fiorenza checked. Christopher Johnson shoved his last 27,700 into the middle and Fiorenza went into the tank.

After several moments of thought, Fiorenza showed {6-}{6-} before he tossed it in the muck to surrender the pot.

Elsewhere in the room, Kelley Slay has chipped up thanks to doubling up in a set-over-set pot against Ramon Martinez. Slay had {a-}{a-} and Martinez had {3-}{3-}, and the {a-}{4-}{3-} flop got all of the chips into the middle. The board ran out with no quads for Martinez and Slay secured the big double.

Fiorenza Wins With Pocket Tens

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was heads-up with 20,000 in the middle and {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds} on the board when a player in the under-the-gun position checked. Vincent Fiorenza bet 12,400 from late position and his opponent went into the tank.

Fiorenza watched while the chips were counted out and tossed in the middle. He turned over {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for tens and fives, and the under-the-gun player mucked the losing hand.

Fiorenza is looking for a bag today so that he can join his mom, Toni Fiorenza, for Sunday's Day 2 finale.
