Nuts for Iannuzzi
Three-way to a flop, Vinnie Iannuzzi, Ali Zihni and Thad McNulty all checked. On the turn, Iannuzzi and Zihni checked in turn, and McNulty bet 2,500, called by Iannuzzi alone. The river was a third eight, the . Iannuzzi checked and disappointingly (for him) received a check back.
Iannuzzi: for quads. "I thought you were going to fire at that!" he said, raking in the pot.
His opponent, whom his tablemates say has "hit the deck hard" (he did not confirm or deny this) has two and a half times the starting stack already in Level 3, but apparently can't beat four of a kind.
Also on this unevenly-stacked table is Ali Zihni, who's just become eligible to play in this event. Of his WSOP so far, he says, "I've been having a disaster. But there's still time!"
