Lo Grasso Finds an Ace to Crack Puccilli's Cowboys

Tim Baker

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

How the action went is unknown, but all of Fabio Lo Grasso's 31,000 chips had gone into the middle preflop with Stefano Puccilli making the call to put him at risk.

Fabio Lo Grasso: A♣K♦ All in
Stefano Puccilli: K♥K♣

The flop of 9♠5♣6♠ kept Puccilli ahead with his kings. However, the A♠ turn propelled Lo Grasso into the lead. Puccilli couldn't the one-outer on the river as the 8♣ appeared, and he had to send around half of his chips over to Lo Grasso.

The turn came the A♠ which caused Hu to slow down and check. Gonzalez checked behind and the 7♦ came on the river. The action was checked once again and Hu flipped over J♠J♣. Gonzalez had that beat with K♣K♥ for a pair of kings.
