Neff Out 44th
by Court on 04.23.08, 5:10 pm
To play for 3 full days and then have your tournament life and large sums of money riding on the outcome of one hand is the sickness that tournament poker players expose themselves to time and again. Peter “#1Pen” Neff (left) had all his chips in preflop with AQ and was in a dominating position against Matt “Hazards21″ Giannetti holding of AJ.
Both players paired their ace on the flop, but Neff wasn’t looking to improve his hand, only for Giannetti to not hit his 3 outer. A jack on the turn was all it took to send Neff to the rail though and his 44th place finish put him in the second rung of the payouts for $52,765.
