Big Action
With three live players then, the flop came out . After a check from the raiser, Vaserfirer moved all in for 47,000, and Fitzgerald had that look in his eye as well. After a moment of thought, he too moved all in, committing his last 187,000 chips to the pot. That was enough to fold the raiser and end the betting action, so the cards were turned up:

Falaschi would find salvation on the river, though, as a timely ripped off to improve him to the win, increasing his stack more than sixfold. He's "all the way" up to 31,500 now, moving Vaserfirer up to about 185,000 and Fitzgerald down to 140,000.
