Ulma Pulls Miracle River to Triple

Level 13 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
MPF - Tournament Room 1
MPF - Tournament Room 1

Ignazio Ulma moved all in for 98,000, and Maria Evans rejammed for 142,000, both in middle position. Andrew Cutajar was in the small blind, and he had a peek at his cards before immediately four-bet jamming with the covering stack, forcing out the rest of the table.

Ignazio Ulma: 55 All in
Maria Evans: KK All in
Andrew Cutajar: AK

Evans was in great shape, and the 1072 flop was clear.

The A hit on the turn to put Cutajar in front, much to Evans' disgust, but Cutajar then felt the pain of being usurped after the 5 hit on the river, sending Ulma the triple-up.

Ulma could barely believe it, and celebrated with gusto, while Cutajar won the side-pot to bust Evans.

We are now at 39 players in Day 1g, with 36 due to qualify for Day 2.

Franky Green: AQ

It was a fair fight, and the J93 flop was clear for Williams. However the A hit on the turn to put Green in front, and there was no two-outer on the 4 river.
