Torrente Cracks Queens and Kings to Triple Up
Antonio Torrente opened from under the gun before David Oezmen three-bet to 2,700 from the next seat over. Alberto Geroni then four-bet shoved for just under 25,000 from middle position. Torrente shoved over the top with his stack of 27,300 and Oezman, who covered both players, made the call.
Alberto Geroni: K♠K♥ 
Antonio Torrente: A♥K♦
David Oezmen: Q♣Q♥
All three players had monster hands preflop but Geroni had the best of the situation with pocket kings and remained ahead on the 3♦6♥8♥ flop. Torrente then called for an ace, which came right in on the A♠ turn to give Torrente the lead with top pair. The 4♦ river was a brick and Torrente scooped a massive pot while Oezman was left with less than half of what he had started the hand with and Geroni made his exit from the tournament area.
