D'Angelo Cracks Aces, Gets It All

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Daniele D'Angelo
Daniele D'Angelo

Action started on the river in a large, heads-up pot with about 160,000 in the middle. The full board read {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.

Christian Dalder checked from early position. His sole opponent was Daniele D'Angelo in the cutoff. D'Angelo thought for a couple of minutes before moving all in for 55,000. He had Dalder slightly covered.

Into the tank went Dalder, knowing the call would be his tournament life if he was wrong. After about two minutes, he did put in the chips.

D'Angelo showed {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for the turned flush to take down the {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} of Dalder and send him home.

Fitoussi Wins Pot Because Kabrhel Loves Him

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Martin Kabrhel
Martin Kabrhel

Martin Kabrhel opened in middle position to 3,500. Bruno Fitoussi put in the three-bet to 8,500 from late position. Action folded back to Kabrhel who unsurprisingly started talking.

"He knows I love him, so I can't bust him. That's why he raised," said Kabrhel. "I fold. Show me your cards, please."

Fitoussi showed the {a-Spades}.

"In my country, cards mean two cards," said Kabrhel.

"Ok, for you. Only for you, don't go telling everybody," said Fitoussi, as he showed {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds} face up.

"You bluffed me," said Kabrhel. "I folded ace-jack because I love this banana man. Yes, write it down, write that he's crazy. I'm out. Seat open. Cash me out."

A new dealer sat down at the table.

"What country are you from?" asked Kabrhel.

"Take a guess," replied the dealer.

"I've never heard of that country. What is the capital?" asked Kabrhel.
