Three Players All In, Two Win
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Short-stacked Alessio Di Cesare was first to act and put his 235,000 remaining chips in the middle. Big stack Djamel Ouaret called from the hijack, then Andrea Belmessieri upped the ante to 640,000, his entire stack. Ouaret got a count but ultimately felt priced in as he made the call.
Alessio Di Cesare: Q♠J♠
Andrea Belmessieri: K♠K♣
Djamel Ouaret: 5♣5♥
Di Cesare had one foot out the door, but the flop of Q♣Q♦8♦ saw him leap into the lead. The other two players were looking to make a full house on the turn or river, but the 7♠ and 9♣ were safe for Di Cesare, who let out an audible cheer.
Meanwhile, Belmessieri also made a profit on the hand as he scooped the sizable side pot.
