Fiore Becomes First Bust Out of the Day
Pedro Gines opened to 300 from under the gun before Gaetano Fiore three-bet to 1,200 from the button. The blinds got out of the way and then Gines reraised to 3,300. Fiore thought for a few moments before calling.
Gines continued for 2,100 on the A♠K♣J♣ flop and was called. Gines then slowed down with a check on the 10♠ turn. Fiore fired out 4,500, sending Gines into the tank. The Spaniard took his time before reaching for his chips, he then steadied himself and continued to mull over his options. Gines finally settled on a raise, making it 13,000, and he snap-called for the 12,600 more he had behind after Fiore three-bet jammed as the slightly bigger stack.
Pedro Gines: Q♣Q♥
Gaetano Fiore: A♥10♣
Gines had Broadway, while Fiore's two pair needed to improve to a full house. The K♠ paired the board, but not in the way Fiore required and he was reduced to fumes.
A few hands later, Fiore was all-in and at risk to Matthias Huebl.
Gaetano Fiore: K♦8♦
Matthias Huebl: A♦Q♦
Huebl paired up on the A♥10♦2♠ flop and improved to a boat after the Q♠ turn and Q♣ river to secure the first elimination of the day.
