Amanda Musumeci just put herself in prime position for a win here at the Borgata Winter Poker Open, after she pushed J.J. Tozzi off a big pot.

Musumeci began the action by opening from the button, making it 260,000 to play. Tozzi flatted the raise to take the {4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop, and he tapped the table for a check when he saw the first three board cards.

With weakness in the air on the other side of the table, Musumeci c-bet for 280,000, only to see Tozzi ramp the betting up with a raise to 725,000. Musumeci wasted no time in announcing herself all in, and Tozzi winced visibly before tossing his cards away.

With the win, Musumeci now sits on about 3.7 million, and she is nearing the threshold for holding more than half of the chips in play (8.45 million)
