Mantovani Runs into Cowboys
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Alexandre Mantovani opened to 22,000 from middle position, leaving just a single 500 chip behind. Luis Zamora then raised to 50,000 from the button, folding out all other players except Mantovani, who flicked in his last chip to put himself at risk.
Alexandre Mantovani: A♥8♣ 
Luis Zamora: K♠K♣
Zamora pulled way ahead with top set on the K♥7♥9♣ flop leaving Mantovani needing running cards to preserve his tournament life. The 2♠ turn left Mantovani drawing dead and after the 4♦ river he made his exit from the tournament area while Zamora claimed the last of his chips.
