Joseph Magnotti

Joseph Magnotti called the 9 ♣️ 6 ♠️ .3c: 7 ♠️ turn for 12,000 and then checked behind the K ♠️ on the river. Ramon Mendis tabled his 8 ♦️ 8 ♥️ for a pair and missed straight draw, which Magnotti had beat holding the Q ♠️ 9 ♦️ for a pair of nines.

In the meanwhile, Justin Ong talked his way to a healthy chip profit albeit without showdown.
