Uguccioni Wins a Flip in Style
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Michael Uguccioni raised to 16,000 in early position and Fernando Garces moved all in for 182,000 in the small blind. Uguccioni confirmed the amount before calling.
Fernando Garces: A♦Q♦
Michael Uguccioni: 8♥8♦
The A♥J♥8♣ flop gave Garces top pair, but Uguccioni spiked a set to take a big lead. The A♣ turn gave Garces some outs as Uguccioni improved to a full house, but he missed the 6♥ river and was sent to the rail.
Eduardo Santi was also recently eliminated at this table.
