$350 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)

End of Level 9:  Blinds 500/1,000/100 ante

Players are now on their third break of the day.  There is no dinner break in this flight, since they will be done at about 7pm.

Amelio Amato and Shari Amato are a poker-playing husband and wife pair.  Amelio has over $213,000 in reported tournament earnings.  Shari has over $104,000 including a win in the Seniors event here last September.

They’re both still in Flight C and Shari was just at risk for her tournament life.

The player in seat 8 was in the hijack and all-in for 11,025.  The player in seat 1 (button) called the all-in, then Shari (small blind) moved in over the top for 8,050 more. (Amelio ran over from his table to see what was going on at this point.)

Seat 1 called and the hands were tabled:

Shari:

Seat 8:

Seat 1:

Board:

Although she was ahead the whole way, Shari made a flush on the river.  She’s up to 51k now.
