No Luck for Alacqua

[user46392]

Actually, he did have a spot of luck, doubling through Antony Lellouche with {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

against Lellouche's {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

on a

{9-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

{4-Clubs}

board, putting him up to 21,000.

However, a few hands later, his luck ran out when he called Hans Eskilsson's all in on a {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

flop. Alacqua was holding {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{K-Spades}

, but the turn brought a third diamond to make a flush for Eskilsson holding {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

. A blank on the river, and a dejected Alacqua was left with just 3,000.

The very next hand, Moises Parrilla raised to 2,800, Alacqua went all in for 100 more, and it was the end of the road for the bearded Italian.

Alacqua: {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

Parrilla:

{A-Spades}

{9-Spades}

Board:

{4-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

{6-Clubs}

{3-Hearts}

{6-Spades}
