Vincenzo Abate Wins The Last Two Hands To Finish Over 200,000

Entering the final minutes of the last level of the day, there are several contenders for the chip lead, including Vincenzo Abate, DJ Whorley and Jeremy Maher. (Abate and Whorley are sitting side-by-side at the same table.)

In the second-to-last hand of the day, Vincenzo Abate (on the button) sees a flop of [10c7d5s] against one other player. His opponent bets 1,800, and Abate calls. The turn card is unknown, but his opponent checks, Abate bets 5,000, and his opponent folds. Abate takes the pot to increase his stack.

In the last hand of the day, a player in early position raises to 1,200, Abate raises from the cutoff to 3,000, and his opponent calls. The flop comes [10d6d3h], his opponent checks, Abate bets 5,000, and his opponent folds. Abate takes the last two pots at his table to finish the day with 201,475.
