Pistorino Runs Into Gordon's Aces

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Vincent Pistorino
Vincent Pistorino

Arnaldo Gordon opened to 1,500 in the hijack, and Zhenjie Hou made the call on the button. Vincent Pistorino stuck in his last 6,400 from the big blind, and Gordon four-bet to 16,500.

That forced Hou out of the pot, leaving Pistorino at risk heads up.

Vincent Pistorino: K7 All in
Arnaldo Gordon: AA

Both players found pieces of the 7A4KJ runout, but Pistorino's two pair were not enough against Gordon's set of aces. That sent Pistorino back to the registration desk for a fresh starting stack.
