Champ: 4th Place - Maio

$2,500 + $200 Championship Deep Stack NLH  

Anthony Maio (Bensalem, PA)

$55,022

On the turn with a board of K 9 6 5, Melad Marji (bb) bet 106k.

Anthony Maio (utg) raised to 226k.  Melad called.  River was a 3 and they checked it down.

"I missed" said Anthony.  Melad showed K5 suited for two pair to take the pot, chipping up to just over 3 million.

Anthony was left with ~400k.  He got a walk in the big blind on the next hand, then...

Melad opened for 125k on the button and Anthony shoved for 388k from the small blind.

Melad called, showing QT suited.  Anthony was ahead with AJ.

The flop came A J 8 giving Anthony top two pair.  5 on the turn changed nothing.  Then a 9 on the river gave Melad the straight and the last of Anthony's chips.  He's up to ~3.5 million.

Anthony Maio finished in 4th place, earning $55,022.
