Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Brent Roberts

Alessandro Nocerino opened the pot with a raise to 10,000 from the late position, and Brent Roberts three-bet it to 30,000 from the big. Nocerino called the extra amount to leave himself with just about 15,000 behind.

As the dealer burned, Roberts announced he was putting Nocerino all in, and the first three community cards came {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

. Nocerino tried to check, not realizing that wasn't an option. Eventually, he made the call all in for his tournament life, tabling {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

while Roberts had pulled ahead in the race with his {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

. Nocerino was in disbelief.

The turn and river blanked off with the {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

and the

{7-Clubs}

respectively, failing to answer Nocerino's pleads of, "Diez! Diez!" That's the end of his day, while Roberts moves up the board to about 160,000.
