Matthew Wantman

Matthew Wantman was all-in and at risk to Jesse Lonis for his last 90,000.

Matthew Wantman: 8♦8♥All in
Jesse Lonis: A♠J♣

Wantman remained ahead on the Q♥10♣2♣ flop, but Lonis picked up a Broadway draw. The 8♠ turn gave Wantman a set, but added more straight outs for Lonis.

The 9♦ river gave Lonis his straight, and "Bucky" was eliminated in 9th place.
