Lococo Runs Into Bansal's Aces Again
For the second hand in a row, Laszlo Bujtas opened the action, making it 2,500 under the gun. The big stack on the table was Paawan Bansal, and he three-bet to 9,000 in the cutoff.
Alejandro Lococo in the small blind thought for a bit before he four-bet to 19,500. Eric Afriat was in the big blind and inquired about Lococo's stack. After about a minute in thought, Afriat folded, and so did Bujtas.
Bansal then announced an all-in bet, and Lococo instantly called off his stack of 55,000.
Alejandro Lococo: A♦K♦ 
Paawan Bansal: A♥A♣
The 5♥6♦5♦ flop gave Lococo some outs, but no more diamonds arrived on the 10♥ turn or Q♠ river.
The Argentinian PokerStars Ambassador immediately headed to the exit, while Afriat lamented his folded queens, which would have won a monster pot had he called.
