Denaro Sends One Out in Cruel Fashion

David Salituro

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A player in the big blind moved all in for 38,000 and Sergio Denaro called in the cutoff, having his opponent covered.

All-In Player: A♥A♦
Sergio Denaro: K♣10♣

Denaro was crushed by his opponents' pocket aces as the 3♣7♦K♦ flop gave him some hope with a pair. That hope was realized when the 10♦ fell on the turn, giving Denaro two pair.

The big blind was suddenly looking for help on the river, but didn't find any as the 2♣ fell. Denaro got up from his seat and went to shake his opponent's hand in commiseration before taking in the pot.
