Pistorino Gambles With Lilly
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
With the pot already growing on table 26, Paul Lilly shoved from the small blind for 35,900. Vincent Pistorino had a bet of 6,000 already in the pot, and considered his options in middle position.
"Do you have ace-king?" Pistorino asked Lilly as the two exchanged some table talk.
"I know you like to gamble," said Lilly. Pistorino stuck in the call, and the cards were turned up.
Paul Lilly: 9♠9♦ 
Vincent Pistorino: 5♣5♥
Both players turned over pocket pairs, with Lilly improving to a full house on the 9♣8♦6♠K♦K♠ runout. Lilly doubled up, while Pistorino was left with a single black 100 chip.
Pistorino won his next hand before losing the last of his stack, but was seen heading to a new table after another reentry.
