Pecelj Has Aces Cracked

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Pavle Pecelj
Pavle Pecelj

In the very next hand, Pavle Pecelj opened to 4,000, and received a call from Mark Cornwell, before Francesco Romanello three-bet jammed for 48,000.

Pecelj rejammed, just covering his opponent, and Cornwell quickly got out of the way.

Francesco Romanello: KQ All in
Pavle Pecelj: AA

Romanello was due a bit of good luck after the previous hand, and he flopped the straight on J109 flop, to murmurs from the table.

The 10 turn gave Pecelj some hope, but the 8 river was brick.

Pecelj was left with 2,000, and busted shortly after.
