Pichierri Doubles Through Tarsia

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Giuseppe Tarsia raised to 3,000 from the early position and Alessandro Pichierri shoved from the middle position. Ricky van Ravenstein asked for a count from the big blind and the dealer confirmed Pichierri had 42,000 behind. Van Ravenstein opted to fold in the end and Tarsia made the call.

Alessandro Pichierri: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Giuseppe Tarsia: {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} with the king in the window for Pichierri to get up from his chair.

The turn was the {10-Hearts} which didn't change things but the {a-Diamonds} on the turn made Tarsia slam the table as Pichierri rivered the higher two pair.
