Di Giacomo Felts Machado
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Lucas Diniz raised to 2,000 under the gun and Hugo Machado jammed from middle position for about 13,000. Claudio Di Giacomo four-bet to approximately 26,000 from the big blind, which forced Diniz out.
Hugo Machado: 8♥8♣
Claudio Di Giacomo: J♥J♠
Machado had an uphill battle ahead of him against Di Giacomo's bigger pair, and that climb got even steeper when the Q♣6♠J♦ flop gave Di Giacomo a set.
Machado picked up an out when the 8♠ landed on the turn, but the miracle of backdoor quads didn't arrive on the K♥ river, sending him to the rail.
