Skarparis Runs Into Aces, Osti Shows Him the One Hand He Doesn't Want to See
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Mercedes Osti raised to 2,100 under the gun and Georgios Skarparis moved all in for 13,200 in the hijack. Ali Abdulzahra called in the cutoff, while Osti flung 8♣8♦ into the muck.
Georgios Skarparis: 8♥8♠
Ali Abdulzahra: A♠A♥
"No! I don't want to see that," Skarparis said to Osti as he also showed two eights. He was drawing thin against Abdulzahra's aces as the flop came 9♦6♦4♣. "That's okay," Skarparis said, and the 10♥ turn gave him outs to a straight.
"That's better," he added, but he missed the 3♦ river and was sent to the rail.
At the same table, Endrit Geci has built up a stack of around 150,000.
