Quattrucci Cracks Aces to Score the Double KO
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Dario Quattrucci just scored a double knockout on Table 40 in a pot of around 70,000, eliminating Hamza Nasir and Maor Zaharagi.
All the chips went into the middle preflop, with Nasir on the button, Zaharagi in early position, and Quattrucci trying to send them both home from under the gun.
Hamza Nasir: A♥A♠
Maor Zaharagi: A♣K♠
Dario Quattrucci: 7♦6♦
Nasir had the goods with pocket rockets, while Quattrucci needed something of a miracle to turn his seven-high into the winner.
The 6♠9♦Q♦ flop was a good start, giving Quattrucci a pair and a flush draw.
Zaharagi added a gutshot when the J♠ landed on the turn, but the board-pairing 6♥ river improved Quattrucci to trips, cracking Nasir's aces and sending two players to the rail.
