The R20K SUP Championship

Giovanni Zanette openly admits to enjoying a max late reg run, but unfortunately fell short with his attempt in the R20K ShuffleUp Championship.

* *We have lost another player from the field as the action continues to heat up.

Giovanni Zanette commits his stack to the middle and found himself at risk against Melvin Chetty, who called off the short stack.

Giovanni: 9-9 Melvin: Q-J

It was a classic preflop race, but Melvin took a commanding lead when the dealer delivered a lady right in the window on the Q3K flop.

Giovanni was left searching for one of the two remaining nines in the deck to keep his tournament hopes alive.

Ultimately, the turn brought a 6 and the river completed the board with a T, confirming Giovanni's exit.

19 players now remain.
