Machado Drills an Ace, Leaving Cantiani Short
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
After a series of preflop bets, Vinicius Machado had worked his remaining stack of 119,500 into the middle from early position and was at risk against Graziano Cantiani in the big blind.
Vinicius Machado: A♦K♠
Graziano Cantiani: K♦K♣
As Cantiani stood up to get a better view of the runout, he saw nothing but bad news on the A♠2♦8♣ flop. Machado had snatched the lead, leaving Cantiani with just one out. The 10♥ turn and 3♠ river were unforthcoming, instead providing Machado a double-up and leaving Cantiani with a short stack.
