And then there were nine! Nine remaining players who have all secured over $16,000 in prize money are left here in Mini Mega Millions XI. Matthew Casey is leading the way after he scored a huge knockout of Giuseppe Puccio in 11th. Puccio had checked to Casey on the turn of a board showing [10c][7s][5h][3c], and after Casey fired 4,500,000, Puccio shoved all in for 12,500,00 total. Casey went deep into the tank, eventaully calling after almost five minutes. Puccio could only muster up 8-7 for a pair of sevens, and Casey confirmed he was good before revealing pocket jacks that made an unneeded set on the turn.
After that, Alexander Stewart ran his pocket queens into the pocket kings of Tyler Cornell, to boost the WSOP bracelet winner into the chip lead. Stay tuned to find out who takes home the big prizes here tonight!
