Event 3: "Ohmigod!"

$500 + $60 Big Stack NLH (Re-Entry) 

 Kovaci Ducks Mazzeo's Trips

Ohmigod! isn't just the name of his gourmet cookie business, but the reaction by Matt "Muffins" Mazzeo (East Williston, NY) when his opponent turns over the winner.

Mazzeo is ahead the entire hand and leads every street until the river when he checks the board of 3 3 9 J 2.

Mirsad Kovaci (Allentown, PA) bets 10k, Mazzeo moves all in and Kovaci snap calls turning over pocket 2s for a rivered full house

"Ohmigod!" says Mazzeo who shows A 3 and for trip threes.  "Good luck everybody," says a stunned Mazzeo whose day is over.

"Deuces is a big hand there," jokes Kovaci, knowing that he was fortunate to hit the two-outer.  "He raised preflop so I figured Ace-King."

Mazzeo says the business is doing well, squeezing poker into his schedule when he can.
