Howard Can't Duck D'Alessio

Pascual Antonio D'Alessio raised to 14,500 from late position, and Paul Howard made the call from the big blind and on a relatively short stack.

Heads up, the flop came down {Q-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}. After a check from Howard, D'Alessio fired out a continuation bet of 21,000. Without wasting any time, Howard waved his hands forward in that familiar all-in gesture. D'Alessio shrugged and made the call with plenty of chips to spare.

Showdown
Howard: {6-Hearts} {7-Clubs}
D'Alessio: {7-Hearts} {7-Spades}

The showdown wasn't much fun for Howard, and all he could really do was chuckle at his plight. The turn {9-Clubs} ended the hand, Howard now drawing dead and resigned to his 25th-place finish. The {10-Diamonds} that landed on the river sent him to the payout desk and brought out the chip bags, signaling the end of Day 2.
