Rall Takes an Early Pot From Pace
Level 2
: 100/200, 200 ante
On a flop of 
, MSPT Sycuan January Main Event champ Gianluca Pace led from the big blind for 2,000 and was called by Chris Rall in middle position and Massoud Eskandari on the button.
The trio checked the 
turn, and Pace also checked the 
river, leading to a bet of 8,000 from Rall. Eskandari folded, then after some though pace pitched his cards to the muck as well.
Rall happily flipped over 
for a missed flush draw that turned into a winning straight instead.
