Event 19: 8th Place - Vozzoto

$200 + $30 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

Blinds 10k/20k/3k ante

Giovanni Vozzoto (Bellmore, NY)

$1,263

Giovanni Vozzoto is practically doing back flips for his 8th place finish.

"I had 100k with 18 players left," he says, "I had nothing."

Vozzoto watched exit after exit move himself from $421 (18th place) to $1,263 for finishing 8th.

On his final hand, Giovanni is all in for 100k with KJ against the A8 of Miguel Borrero. 

Giovanni doesn't get any help and is happy to be heading to the pay window.
