Distefano Loses Flip to Double Short Stack

Vito "thesuitbig29" Distefano opened to 20,000 from middle position and "Crusherr" went all-in from the hijack for their remaining 90,830 chips. All other players got out of the way and Distefano quickly called to put his opponent at risk.

"Crusherr" K♥A♠
Vito Distefano: Q♣Q♦

It was a classic tournament flip, with "Crusherr" coming out ahead on the 4♥6♦A♥ flop. Distefano did not receive any help on the 2♦ turn and J♠ river and "Crusherr" secured the double up.

Despite the setback, Distefano still holds a commanding lead over most of the field with one of the top 3 chip stacks in play.
