ElleSriracha

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Michael Gentili started the day with 688,000 but dropped down to less than half of that. After winning an all in with ace-king vs the ace-ten of Scott Stewart, Gentili clawed his way back and is now in the thick of things again.

On a board reading , with about 200,000 in the middle already, Pedro Cabeca led out for 125,000. Gentili was in the cutoff and three-bet to 260,000. Cabeca thought about it for a moment and eventually called.

Gentili quickly tabled for the nut straight and Cabeca mucked his cards.

Gentili now has just shy of a million chips.
