Pillitteri Catapults Himself to Top With Triple Up
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Picking up the action on the flop on a board of Q♣6♦8♦, Mouland had 110,000 in the middle, Ghost Rider75 had called the flop bet, then Francesco Pillitteri shoved for 226,000. Mouland made the call, the Ghost Rider75 put the rest of his chips in the middle and was covered by both of his opponents. Players revealed their cards.
Ghost Rider75: 8♥7♠ 
Francesco Pillitteri: Q♦Q♠
Mouland: A♦Q♥
Mouland had top pair, but Pillitteri was crushing both other players with his set of queens. The turn came the K♥ and river the A♣. Pillitteri won the pot, pretty much tripling up his stack and catapulting himself to the top of the chip counts with just a few more players left to bust before the day wraps up.
