Event 8: You Crack Me Up

$400 + $50 Deep Stack NL

Phil Neiman's 9-9 crack Zack Collado's AA in a back and forth battle where Neiman risked his tournament by shoving all-in pre-flop.

Phil's 9-9 picked up on flush draw on the flop (with one nine) while Collado smacked a third ace on the turn.

King of clubs on the river gave Neiman the needed chips. He's currently up to 90,000.

"It was smooth sailing ever since that hand" said Neiman.

Zack, who won a Caribbean Poker Open event this year was still steaming from the hand.
