Nociolini Flips His Way to Survival
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Xiaosheng Zheng raised to 105,000 from under the gun and Fabricio Nociolini jammed the cutoff for 680,000. When the action got back to Zheng, he made the call and the players flipped their cards.
Fabricio Nociolini: A♦K♦
Xiaosheng Zheng: Q♥Q♣
Nociolini was flipping for his tournament life and needed to connect with his big slick to survive.
Nociolini took the lead by pairing his king on the 3♥K♣3♦ flop.
The 2♠ turn and K♠ river offered no help to Zheng, with Nociolini instead improving to a full house to secure the double-up.
