Fishhooks Lead to Buonanno's Demise

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We missed the elimination of EPT10 Grand Final champ Antonio Buonanno, but fortunately Connor Drinan, who did the deed, was kind enough to fill us in on some details.

According to him, Andre Akkari opened for 4,500 and Chris Hunichen three-bet to 11,200 from the cutoff. Buonanno then four-bet to 25,000 from the button, Drinan five-bet to 54,000 from the small blind, and both Akkari and Hunichen folded. Buonanno made the call and then called a bet of 42,000 on the {2-}{6-}{7-} flop.

A {4-} turn saw Drinan moved all in for 155,000, and Buonanno, who had a bit less, called off with pocket jacks. Unfortunately for him, it was no good as Drinan held ladies. The river was a blank, and Buonanno busted.
