Small Cameo for Wantman

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Bradley Boldt opened to 3,000 from the hijack. Matthew Wantman, who recently entered, jammed for the 60,000 starting stack from the big blind. Boldt called off his stack of 57,000.

Bradley Boldt: KxKxAll in
Matthew Wantman: 7x7x

Boldt's kings remained best following the J8665 runout, to leave Wantman on fumes.

On the next deal, Neel Joshi made it 4,000 from under the gun. Wantman put in his last 3,000 from the small blind before Fyodor Shatokhin called from the big blind.

Shatokhin check-called for 2,500 on the A99 flop before the 10 turn and 9 river checked through to showdown.

Matthew Wantman: Q10All in
Neel Joshi: AQ
Fyodor Shatokhin: A8

Joshi and Shatokhin both had the same full house, and each take half of Wantman's last few chips.
