| Jay Feingold (Long Island, NY) |
The first hand saw Grandieri open shove close to 500,000 chips from the cut off and Feingold would call on the button to put Grandieri at risk.
Grandieri would flash his cards to Fred Paradis who had to hold back some laughter with Grandieri tabling [3s][2s] and standing from the table to say, "It a joke anyway." as Feingold threw over [Qh][Qc].
Grandieri was almost out of the tournament area as the [7h][9s][5d] flop came down and then cut his exit short when the [3h] fell on the turn.
He'd be heading back to his seat as the [2d] spiked on the river giving him an unlikely double up with an even more unlikely two pair.
Feingold couldn't believe it and neither could anyone else at the table, but after getting cut down to just over the 1,600,000 mark, Feingold would be sending more of his chips to his opponents as he and Frank Sgambato got tangled in a three-bet pre-flop pot with Feingold leading out on a board of [6c][3s][2c] only to see Sgambato move all-in for just under 150,000 more chips.
Feingold had to call as there was already close to 900,000 chips in the pot and he would looking to catch an ace tabling [As][10h] with Sgambato turning over [Kh][Kc].
The board would run out with two more clubs and Sgambato would end the hand with a flush and complete a hugely important double up while Feingold is now left with just over 1,000,000 chips and will have to regain his composure and his run good to get himself back into this Card Player Poker Tour Main Event.
