D'Alessio Finds Quick Double
Level 41
: Blinds 1,000,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante
On the very first hand of heads-up play, Lucien Cohen raised to 3,000,000 and was called by Ferdinando D'Alessio in the big blind.
The flop of 8♣J♣K♥ saw D'Alessio check to Cohen, who fired 7,000,000. D'Alessio took some time before announcing all in for 36,500,000 and Cohen called instantly.
Ferdinando D'Alessio: J♥9♠
Lucien Cohen: 5♣4♣
D'Alessio was ahead with a pair of jacks, needing to dodge a club. The 5♥ turn brought Cohen some additional outs, but the 8♠ river was safe for D'Alessio to earn the quick double up.
