Tomas Larivee Magni

With blinds at 75k/150k, Tomas Larivee Magni limped in on the button and Brady Hinnegan checked from the big blind. The flop came {q-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, and both players checked to the {6-Clubs} on the turn.

Hinnegan bet 200,000 and Magni called. The {5-Spades} completed the board on the river and Hinnegan bet 300,000. Magni raised all-in and Hinnegan snap-called, flipping over {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, for a flopped straight. Magni turned over {q-Spades}{5-Clubs} but his two pair was not enough, and his run for the title would come up one player short.
