Jacks Hold to Give Giannetti Massive Pot; Evans Eliminated
Matt Giannetti, who finished fourth in the 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event for $3,012,700, raised from the cutoff only to have Harold Evans three-bet to 33,000 from the button. The blinds got out of the way and Giannetti simply moved all in for 126,500.
Evans had about 115,000 behind, so a call would mean his tournament life. He thought long and hard as he agonized on what to do, but ultimately he made the call.
Showdown
Giannetti: 
Evans: 
It was a classic flip, but it seems that today the pairs have held in such situations. This hand would be no different as the board ran out 
, sending a dejected Evans home just shy of the money.
