Event 13: Musumeci Moves Back on Top

After starting head-up play with a 2 million chip disadvantage, Amanda Musumeci has quickly reversed the situation against James Kinney.

She took a sizable pot down when her jack kicker played in a pair-on-pair showdown, then took down another with the board reading {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{a-Spades}{7-Clubs} by the river. Musumeci called a 500,000 chip wager on the turn, and then claimed the pot with a 580,000 bet after Kinney checked.

An all-in reraise on the next deal forced Kinney off of his 250,000 open, and with that Musumeci moved above 5.45 million chips early in the one-on-one contest.
