Esposito Triples Up; El Kadre Runs Into a Boat
Jacek Skiscim raised to 12,000 under the gun and Ettore Esposito moved all in for 20,000 in middle position. Bleron Maliqi called in the big blind, but Skiscim came back with a reraise to 57,000 forcing out Maliqi.
Ettore Esposito: A♥5♣
Jacek Skiscim: K♣K♥
Esposito picked up a straight draw on the 3♣2♥3♦ flop, while the turn was the 10♦. The river brought the 4♥ and Esposito completed his straight to triple up.
At the same time at another table, Cairo Bombarde El Kadre moved all in for 45,000 from middle position and Vlado Banicevic called in the hijack.
Cairo Bombarde El Kadre: Q♣10♣
Vlado Banicevic: A♥J♥
The flop came A♦J♣7♣ and Banicevic made top two pair, while El Kadre had straight and flush draws. The turn, though, was the A♠ and Banicevic improved to a full house to leave El Kadre drawing dead by the 6♦ river.
