Event 1 (Day 1B): Matteo Meets "Ono"

Level 13 (Blinds 800/1,600/200)
Total Day 1B Entries: 150
Day 1B Players Remaining: 46

The field lost three players in a matter of five minutes back from dinner, with Matteo Menna eliminated most recently.  Menna got his fifteen big blind stack in with J♣ J against the Q♣ 9♣ of Oleksand Onufriychuk on a board of 4♣ 4 8♣.  "Ono" had one over with the club draw, and although he bricked the turn, the Q on the river drew a loud clap and fist pump.  "Ono" is now one of the leaders in the field with 130,000.
