Amelio Amato

The bust outs are coming at a steady pace despite the deep stacks and slow structure. Amelio Amato was one of the recent eliminations and he was in a big, three-way pot.

Nick Schwarmann opened to 25,000 from under the gun and Amatom moved all in for 180,000. John Dolan moved all in over the top for approximately 400,000 and Schwarmann thought it out. He called with the bigger stack with a chance for the double knockout.

Schwarmann: 9s9c
Amato: Ad5d
Dolan: KdKc

Dolan was dominant and needed to fade an ace, nine, or some crazy cards and the board ran Qh7s4c2d6d to send Amato out and Dolan up.

John Dolan – 980,000 (82 bb)
