Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 2♥7♠6♠, Alessandro Pichierri bet 175,000 from the cutoff, then called when Sonny Franco moved all in for 725,000 in the hijack.
Sonny Franco: 8♥8♠
Alessandro Pichierri: 10♠10♣
Pichierri was poised for a knockout with his higher pocket pair as the 3♦ fell on the turn, but the 8♣ fell on the river to give Franco a set and a miracle double up, leaving Pichierri nursing an extreme short stack.
