Amanda Musumeci Triples Back Over Starting Stack
With large field tournaments such as Event 1, there is never a shortage of action. If you look around the room you are almost always guaranteed to see a player packing their belongings and heading out of the door. Such seemed to be the fate for poker pro Amanda Musumeci, but the cards seemed to have other ideas.
Three players found all of their chips into the middle as Amanda Musumeci slid her last 6,200 into the middle from under the gun. The player under the gun +2 made the call, only to see the player on his immediate left push all in for an additional 8,075. He made the call and the three hands were tabled.
Musumeci: {8c}{8s}
UTG+1: {Kc}{Qh}
UTG+2: {Qc}{Qs}
The dealer spread the {2h}{As}{Kd} flop and things seemed bleak for the two ladies that were all in. The {Js} would provide the 2nd all in player with a few outs to a chop but Musumeci would need to catch one of two remaining {8x} in the deck to survive.
Sure enough the dealer peeled off the {8h} on the river and Musumeci would more than triple up, as she now sits with over 20,000 in chips.
