Peter Vitantonio

Manny Minaya opened to 70,000 from the button and Peter Vitantonio shipped for 830,000 from the small blind. David Moses folded the big and Minaya called.

Minaya: AhKd
Vitantonio: 7d7s

The flop came Kh9h7c and they both hit a piece. Vitantonio’s set of sevens was still best but Minaya added a flush draw on the 6h turn.

“Heart!” Minaya requested.

The river was 2h.

“There it is!” Minaya exclaimed as his flush sent Vinantonio out in 11th place.

Manny Minaya – 2,200,000 (73 bb)
Peter Vitantonio – Eliminated in 11th Place ($12,516)

While that was going on, TK Miles picked up a huge double. He was heads up with Duff Charette to a Qs9s4c flop. Charette checked from the big blind, Miles bet 75,000 and Charette. The turn was 6c, Charette checked again, and Miles moved all in for 620,000. Charette thought for a moment and called.

Miles: JcTc
Charette: KcQd

Charette was ahead to set the final table but Miles spiked the Qc on the river. The club flush sent the huge pot to Miles.

TK Miles – 1,450,000 (48 bb)
Duff Charette – 825,000 (28 bb)
