Matt Giannetti Wins One From Mohsen Mousaui
Jul 20, '17
 Matt Giannetti, the fourth-place finisher in the 2011 main event, added to his towers of chips in a pot against 2014 champ Martin Jacobson and a player by the name of Mohsen Mousaui.
In the position known as the hijack, Giannetti opened to 4,300, and Jacobson, who was next to act, made the call. Mousaui on the button three-bet to 12,000 and both his opponents called relatively quickly.
The flop fell J102, and it was checked to Mousaui. He again bet 12,000, and Giannetti called. Jacobson folded.
The turn was the 4, and action quickly went check, check. The 2 on the river seemed rather inconsequential, but Giannetti fired 25,000. Mousaui, who had about 75,000 left, folded. Giannetti added to his chips and currently sits with more than 300,000.

November Nine Set!
Jul 20, '11
 After eight days of play and nearly 72 hours of cards, the 2011 World Series of Poker has officially reached the November Nine.
Leading the way into the four-month hiatus is the Czech Republic’s Martin Staszko, who has a slight advantage over Ireland’s Eoghan O’Dea.
The final table will be a truly international affair, with seven different countries represented. The Americans will be the most prevelent at the Penn and Teller Theatre at the Rio, having three players in attendance. Matt Giannetti, Phil Collins and Ben Lamb also reside in third, fourth and fifth in the standings after some late night jostling.
 Giannetti was handcuffed early on during the final table bubble, but picked up pocket jacks twice to give him a comfortable chip count entering November.
Barring a spectacular performance at the WSOP Europe series from Phil Hellmuth, Lamb has nearly locked up the WSOP Player of the Year honors. He has now earned nearly $2 million this summer and is in a great position to triple or quadruple that amount.
Badih Bounahra was at one point the shortest stack at the table, but he was able to pick up a big hand to double through, becoming the first player to represent Belize at the final table in WSOP history.
 Germany’s Pius Heinz is certainly happy to have survived the bubble, especially after getting all in with K-J against a dominating A-K earlier in the day. Heinz would up making a straight to double, which was enough for him to advance.
The rest of the final table is rounded out by Ukraine’s Anton Makievskyi and the U.K.’s Sam Holden. Both players will have their work cut out for them in November, returning with less than 30 big blinds.
The unfortunate final table bubble boy was John Hewitt, who made a questionable call against Bounahra that saw his stacked crippled. He eventually lost a coinflip to O’Dea to see his Main Event run come to an end.
By surviving until November, Eoghan and his father, Donnacha O’Dea, have become the first father and son pair to make the WSOP Main Event final table. Donnacha finished ninth in 1991 and sixth in 1983.
 Here is a look at the seating assignments and chip counts.
Seat 1 — Matt Giannetti — 24,750,000
Seat 2 — Badih Bounahra — 19,700,000
Seat 3 — Eoghan O’Dea — 33,925,000
Seat 4 — Phil Collins — 23,875,000
Seat 5 — Anton Makievskyi — 13,825,000
Seat 6 — Samuel Holden — 12,375,000
Seat 7 — Pius Heinz — 16,425,000
Seat 8 — Ben Lamb — 20,875,000
Seat 9 — Martin Staszko — 40,175,000

Matt Giannetti Scores Much Needed Double Up
Matt Giannetti moved all in for his last 5,500,000 from under the gun and John Hewitt reluctantly called from the big blind with A 10 .
Giannetti showed pocket jacks and they held when the board fell K 8 4 5 6. He now has over 11 million in chips, but Hewitt is now short with 10,400,000.
Giannetti Doubles Again With Jacks
Pius Heinz raised to 1,100,000 and Ben Lamb reraised to 3,100,000. Matt Giannetti then moved all in for 8,400,000 from the button and Heinz folded.
Lamb called with K 9 and was well behind Giannetti’s J J . The board rolled out 10 6 3 7 A and Giannetti doubled up to 19 million. Lamb took a major hit down to 21 million.
 Badih Bounahra Doubles Through John Hewitt
John Hewitt raised to 1,100,000 and Badih Bounahra moved all in for his last 9,300,000. Hewitt called with K Q, but he was in awful shape against Bounahra’s pocket kings.
The board brought a queen, but Hewitt couldn’t come from behind to bust his opponent. Now Hewitt is on the short stack with 4 million and Bounahra is up to nearly 20 million.
John Hewitt Eliminated in 10th Place
Eoghan O’Dea raised to 1,100,000 and John Hewitt moved all in for 3,875,000. O’Dea immediately called with K J and was racing against Hewitt’s pocket threes.
The board fell Q 10 7 A K and O’Dea’s straight sent Hewitt to the rail in tenth place. The remaining players are now the newest members of the November Nine.

Matt Giannetti Eliminated in Fourth Place ($3,012,700)
Nov 06, '11
 Matt Giannetti had a really strong performance at the 2011 World Series of Poker main event final table, winning most of his showdowns and rarely giving away easy chips to his opponents, but luck just wasn’t on his side.
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.

We are just about two hours away from the start of the 2011 World Series of Poker main event final table here at the Penn and Teller Theatre at the Rio. Here’s a look at the crew cleaning up the ESPN final table stage.
You’ll notice that the stage is nearly identical to the stage used this summer in the Amazon Room. The only difference is that the bleachers have been spread to the sides to form a half circle. Take a look.

 Negreanu Eliminates Liebert
Kathy Liebert put in a raise and Daniel Negreanu called. The flop brought 9-4-2 with two hearts and Liebert fired out a bet. Negreanu called.
The turn put a third heart on board and Liebert bet 5,000. Negreanu again called and they went to the river.
The river brought a fourth heart to the board and Liebert slowed down, checking to Negreanu who bet enough to put Liebert all in. She called.
Negreanu showed the A along with an unnecessary 10, and his nut flush bounced Liebert from the tournament. Negreanu had around 87,000 after the hand.
Giannetti: From Healthy to Gone
Two of the big stacks collided on a flop of 9 87 . Matt Giannetti got all in and was called by Tom Marchese. Their hands:
Marchese: KK
Giannetti: QQ
Giannetti suddenly found his tournament life at risk. He needed another queen or running cards, but the turn brought th e2 and the river the A.
Marchese exploded into the chip lead with 275,000, and Giannetti was eliminated.
