Big Stax 300 (Day 3): 9th Place - Primavera ($3,615)

Level 24 - Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000

Joe Primavera (Brooklyn, NY)

9th Place - $3,615

Joe Primavera three bet Mike Wert's button raise pre, and after Wert made the call we would be going to the flop (450,000 in the pot):

Flop: J♦ 8♠ Q♠

Joe fired out a bet of 500,000, and Wert grabbed a stack of white chips equalling about 1,300,000.  Before Wert could cut out his raise, Primavera announced himself all-in (~2,700,000).  Wert called and we would have the largest pot of the tournament to date.  The hands we tabled:

Primavera: Q Q (set of queens)               Wert: J 10 (gut shot straight flush draw and pair)

Turn: A♣

River: K♥

Wert would win the hand, making the last hand anyone would think when the chips went in (runner-runner broadway).  Mike Wert is now the overwhelming chip leader, with over 10,000,000.
