Iannacone Leads at Last Break

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Joe Iannacone
Joe Iannacone

Joe Iannacone was the chip leader as of the break and the only stack found over one million.

He's got a couple of wins at Borgata and his best live cash of $19,115 came when he won the 2016 Borgata Poker Open Deeper Stack NLH post-lim event.

They've got two levels to play before the bag & tag and if this flight goes like Flight A yesterday, Iannacone will have a handful of players joining him in the million-plus category.

John Hinds
John Hinds

John Hinds was playing an above-average stack, then ran into a run of bad luck and is out of the Almighty Stack.

First, his pocket tens, ran into pocket jacks, costing him about 100,000.

Then he got pocket Aces and was up against pocket Kings, lost the hand and another 130,000.

His final hand was a flip with {a-Hearts}{10-} against pocket 5s, which cost him his last 80,000.

Martinez Chipping Up

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Raul Martinez
Raul Martinez

The player in the early position raised and the player in the middle position shoved. Action folded to Raul Martinez in the small blind who four-bet to 27,000. The initial raiser called for them to play for the side pot of 33,000.

They both checked through the {6-Clubs}{8-Spades}{j-Clubs} flop to the {j-Hearts} on the turn. Martinez bet 16,000 and that was enough for his opponent to fold to after taking a few seconds. The all-in player tabled {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for two pair while Martinez held {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}.

The river completed the board with the {8-Hearts} for the two pair of Martinez's opponent to get counterfeited and cause for him to get eliminated.
