Thomas Hunt III came into the final table as the smallest stack. He got it all in the middle against Alessio Isaia on third street. By the river, all Hunt had come up with was a pair of deuces. Isaia squeezed his river card first and announced, "Kings and jacks." Hunt squeezed for his tournament life and came up with the prettiest card in the deck -- the ace of spades -- to make two pair, aces and deuces. He now has about 60,000 in chips.
