Lepore Runs Into Pidhrusnyi's Aces
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Diogo Vieira raised to 24,000 in middle position before Vasyl Pidhrusnyi three-bet to 65,000 in the cutoff. Gabriele Lepore then four-bet to 180,000, leaving only a few chips behind, and Vieira got out of the way. Pidhrusnyi, though, announced all in, and Lepore called off his last chips.
Gabriele Lepore: A♣K♠ 
Vasyl Pidhrusnyi: A♠A♥
Pidhrusnyi had Lepore crushed with his aces as the flop came Q♥10♦4♣.
"Almost. Come on, one time, jack!" Lepore pleaded, but his wishes were not granted on the 6♠ turn or 7♥ river, and he headed to the exit.
"He saved you. I double up," Vieira told Pidhrusnyi after the hand.
"Of course you double up. This isn't Pot-Limit Omaha 5-Card. This is no limit. In Omaha, I fold the aces," Pidhrusnyi replied.
