Di Nicola Finds a Way to Survive

Level 7 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ermanno Di Nicola
Ermanno Di Nicola

Mateusz Hajman raised to 11,000 in the cutoff. Cenk Nigbolu then three-bet to 30,000 on the button, and Ermanno Di Nicola four-bet jammed for 92,500 in the small blind.

Big blind Axel Bayout, one of the most recent entrants, then five-bet all in for 195,000, folding out Hajman and Nigbolu.

Ermanno Di Nicola: A♦10♦ All in
Axel Bayout: K♦K♣

The players who folded started discussing their hands, and it became apparent that at least two aces were folded.

Di Nicola immediately stood up as he no longer believed in a miracle, but the deck provided him with one anyway, running out the board 4♣7♥3♠5♣6♦ to chop the pot with a straight.
