Cainelli Blows His Tournament in Style

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

If you’re going to bust, then bust with all guns blazing. It’s something you see a lot in Italy so Luca Cainelli was fitting in well to the style of his homeland.

Daniel Negreanu raised from early position and c-bet the flop. He was called both times by Andrea Finotti and Cainelli in the big blind. The turn fell to give a {9-Spades}{k-Hearts}{5-Spades}{7-Hearts} board and Negreanu fired another bullet valued at 3,100. Finotti called but Cainelli check-raised to 9,000. Both players called to the {q-Hearts} river.

Cainelli thought for a minute before moving all-in for around 23,000. Negreanu huffed and puffed before passing, but Finotti made the call with {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a flush. Cainelli could only muster a losing {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. Finotti is clear chip leader on 79,000 chips now.
