Tricarico Fills Up to Score the First Knockout
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Alexandro Tricarico and Billal El-Tanji had already built a pot of around 10,000 as they went heads-up to the turn on a board of J♣Q♣8♦7♣. El-Tanji then bet 5,500 from the cutoff and Tricarico called on the button.
The river was the 7♦ and El-Tanji moved all in. Tricarico snap-called and turned over Q♥Q♣ for a full house. El-Tanji threw 7♠5♠ into the muck as the stacks were counted down. Tricarico had El-Tanji's remaining 17,300 covered, and El-Tanji hit the rail as the first elimination of the day.
