Matt Giannetti
Both Giannetti and Ben Lamb began to falter to their European counterparts during four-handed play, so it almost seemed inevitable that they would go to war against each other.
The deciding hand occured when Giannetti opened for a raise and was met with an all-in shove by Lamb, holding A 7
. Giannetti immediately called with pocket jacks, but a board of K
9
5
4
9
meant that he was left with just over three big blinds.
After a small double up, Giannetti was unfortunate to run right into Lamb’s pocket kings with his A 3
. The board brought the remaining two kings and the 26-year-old pros tournament run officially came to an end.
Giannetti did pick up $3,012,700 for his finish, bringing his career earnings to nearly $4 million.
