"Back to Back Still Alive" As Wiciak Doubles
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Lucas Scafini raised to 6,000 in the hijack, then called when Simon Wiciak moved all in for 24,500 on the button.
Simon Wiciak: K♦K♠
Lucas Scafini: 8♣8♥
Wiciak aggressively turned his cards over and shot out of his seat as soon as Scafini called. The flop came 3♦K♣6♦ and Wiciak made top set to take a firm grip on the hand.
Scafini hit the 8♠ on the turn, but no other miracles arrived on the 3♠ river as Wiciak doubled up.
"Back to back still alive," Carl Shaw, who finished third to Wiciak at EPT Barcelona last month, said as he watched the action from another table.
