Oh Boi! What a Heartbreaker
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Juan Pardo opened from under the gun, and Gerard Rubiralta three-bet to 80,000 in middle position. Action folded to Paolo Boi in the big blind, who fired back with a four-bet to 187,000. Pardo took his time before making it 325,000, forcing a quick fold from Rubiralta and a near-instant all-in from Boi. Pardo snap-called, and the cards were revealed.
Paolo Boi: K♣K♦
Juan Pardo: Q♦Q♥
Boi found top set on the 3♣7♥K♥ flop, while Pardo, tossing his queen of hearts closer to the board, said only a flush could save him now. The 2♥ turn and 8♥ river did exactly that, completing the miracle runner-runner flush to send Boi out of the tournament in brutal fashion.
