Briotti Runs Into Rockets
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Ioannis Poullos opened from under the gun to 105,000. Tommaso Briotti called from middle position before Javier Fernandez reraised to 425,000. Action folded around to Poullos who moved all in for 1,960,000. Briotti called and Fernandez folded.
Ioannis Poullos: A♣A♠ 
Tommaso Briotti: K♣K♠
The 8♥5♣8♣ flop provided no help from Briotti who was unfortunate to run into rockets. The J♣ turn and 2♠ meant Poullos doubled and left Briotti very short.
The very next hand, Briotti tripled up with A♦6♠ on 6♥9♥6♦J♦4♣.
