Musumeci Binks It On The River
Amanda Musumeci was in full control of the latter stages of her heads-up battle with Italy's Max Pescatori, holding 30,425 chips to his 5,050.
Musumeci raised enough to put Pescatori all-in and Pescatori folded. The next hand, Pescatori limped and then folded when Musumeci set him all-in.
The following hand, Musumeci set Pescatori all-in again, and this time he called off his stack.
Pescatori: 
Musumeci: 
Pescatori paired his four on the 
flop, but it was a board that also gifted Musumeci extra outs to the diamond flush. The 
failed to alter the course of the hand so it would be the river that would decide if Pescatori doubled or busted.
"Bink!" said Musumeci as the river card made its way onto the board face down.
It was indeed a bink because when the card was flipped over it was the flush completing 
, which sent Pescatori to the rail and Musumeci to Day 2.
