Figurella's Full House Leaves Said Short

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante
Oliver Said
Oliver Said

With 26,000 in the pot on the {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{4-Hearts} board, Fabio Figurella check-raised from the small blind to 46,000 after Oliver Said bet 18,000 from the cutoff.

Said couldn't believe the raise and asked "How do you have a full house?"

Said eventually called and his initial thought was correct. Figurella rolled over his {k-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for eights full of kings and Said exposed his {a-Spades}{7-Spades} for a no good ace-high flush.

April Facey (early position) was all-in and at risk after Mariano Bucca (big blind) called her 20,000 all-in on the {q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop.

April Facey: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Mariano Bucca: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

"Nice catch," remarked Facey and her opponent responded with a thank you.

Vietti Eliminated by Cosmin

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

Angelo Vietti moved all-in preflop for 23,000 and was called by Nica Cosmin.

Angelo Vietti: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Nica Cosmin: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

A safe-looking flop of {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} soon turned into a horror show for Vietti as Cosmin hit runner-runner {3-Hearts}{4-Spades} to hit a wheel and sent Vietti to the exit.
