AaronMcBride

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

The action folded around to Ferdinando Dalessio on the button, and he moved all in for around 5,500. The player in the big blind made the call, and Dalessio saw he was in bad shape.

Ferdinando Dalessio:
Opponent:

Board:

The flop gave Dalessio a glimmer of hope when he hit a pair, and he was on his feet and ready to depart the table before the river card was revealed to be the king of spades to give him a higher two pair and a lifeline. In the very next hand, Dalessio three-bet all in and collected the pot preflop to increase his stack further.
