Event 19 Winner - Giannell

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

Blinds 50k/100k/10k ante 


Chris Giannell (Red Bank, NJ)
  $11,787 

After taking a 3 million to 2 million chip lead, Chris Giannell and Dennis Aiello see a flop of
K 2 5.

Aiello checks, Giannell bets 215k and Aiello calls.

Turn: K

Aiello checks, Giannell bets 250k and Aiello calls.

River: A

Aiello stares at his cards and says, "I'm all in," Giannell quickly calls.

Aiello: K 10 (trip Kings)
Giannell: 10 10 (two pairs, Kings & 10s)

"I knew you had the King," laughs Aiello who knows his tournament is over.

And with that Giannell wins the first place prize of $11,787, the trophy and a framed winner's photo.

"This is probably my best live achievement," says Gianell, an accountant, who is visiting family while on vacation, "It's defintiely one of my happiest days in poker."
