Ditrapani Coolers Opponent In Massive Pot

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Nicola Ditrapani
Nicola Ditrapani

A player raised to 3,000 in first position which saw five players call including Aaron Johnson on the button and Nicola Ditrapani in the big blind.

The flop came out {2-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs} and the small blind bet 7,000 which got a call from only Ditrapani while everyone else folded.

The turn of {q-Clubs} saw the small blind bet once more, this time to the tune of 9,000 and Ditrapani moved all in for 33,900 which the small blind snap called.

Nicola Ditrapani: {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Small blind: {q-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The small blind had flopped top pair and turned top two but was still trailing Ditrapani's bottom set. The river {4-Spades} saw no improvement come to the top two and Ditrapani doubled to put himself at over 100,000 in chips.

The Talkative Table of Talent

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Craig Trost
Craig Trost

At table one of the tournament, lots of lively conversation was being engaged in by many of the players at the table including, Nicola Ditrapani, Ryan Phan, and defending champion Craig Trost.

Phan raised on the button to 2,100 and in the big blind, Craig Trost called after saying "you know I can't fold to that."

The flop came out {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} with somebody shouting "blackjack!" Trost checked to Phan who said "button player bets less then pot," before putting out a bet of 1,500 which Trost called.

The turn of {q-Hearts} saw Trost check and Phan checked behind saying "button player gives up."

The river {5-Hearts} saw Trost bet out 5,500 and Phan went into the tank. "You told you gave up a street ago," laughed Trost while Phan pondered his decision. After some more thought he tossed in the chips to call and Trost said "nuts!" He turned over {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for queens full and Phan flashed an {8-Clubs} while the defending champion raked in a pot.
