Peter Vitantonio

Richard Broomes opened the action from under the gun and Peter Vitantonio moved all in for 56,000 next to act. It folded all the way around, past the button and blinds, and Broomes called with the bigger stack.

Vitantonio: QcQs
Broomes: AsKh

It was a race and Vitantonio needed his queens to hold to stay in the Championship. It started well when he flopped a set of queens on the Qh3h2d board but picked up a chop sweat on the 5h turn. The 5c river was good for a boat and Vitantonio doubled up.

Peter Vitantonio – 118,500 (47 bb)
Richard Broomes – 110,000 (44 bb)
