Matt Giannetti Defeats Marc Fratter

Matt Giannetti crippled Marc Fratter on an earlier hand when Giannetti flopped a set of fives while Fratter flopped top pair top kicker with {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}.

On the final hand of their match, Fratter limped in from the button and Giannetti checked his option. The flop was {6-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {5-Spades}. Giannetti bet 1,000 and Fratter called. On the {2-Diamonds} turn Giannetti checked, Fratter bet his last 2,200 and Giannetti called.

Fratter: {Q-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}

Giannetti: {2-Spades} {9-Diamonds}

The river was the {7-Spades} and Giannetti's pair of deuces were good enough to take it down and eliminate Fratter. Giannetti advances to tomorrow's round of 32.
