Villamagna Runs Into Aces
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Action folded to Tommaso Villamagna on the button, who opened to 1,000. Matteo Menconi defended his big blind with a three-bet to 3,000, and Villamagna fired back with a four-bet to 7,500.
Menconi then pushed nearly his entire stack of about 45,000 across the line, putting Villamagna all in for his remaining 18,500. Villamagna went deep into the tank before making the call, putting himself at risk.
Tommaso Villamagna: K♥Q♣
Matteo Menconi: A♦A♣
Villamagna needed a lot of help, but the board ran out 8♣A♠2♠5♦3♦, giving Menconi a set of aces and sending Villamagna to the rail.
