Event 14 (Day 2): Bonacci Picks One Off

Level 12 (Blinds 600/1,200/200)
Players Remaining: 33
Chip Average: 76,000

The action at Table 31 would be picked up after the river, in a hand between Eric Barber and Frank Bonacci.  The board would read Q 4♣ 5 J♣ Q, and Bonacci (in the big blind) already had checked to Barber, who was on the button.  Eric put out a bet of 19,000 (into a pot well over 35,000), and after some deliberation Bonacci would put in a call.  Barber would announce that he had ace high, and Frank would table Q♠ 10, picking up the pot and chipping up to 100,000.

Frank Bonacci - 100,000
Eric Barber - 86,000
