Picone Jams Into Istomin's Aces
Level 8
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Aleksei Istomin made it 12,000 to go from the cutoff. It folded to big blind Igor Picone, who promptly jammed in his stack of 184,000. Istomin wasted no time in calling with the covering stack.
Igor Picone: J♦9♦
Aleksei Istomin: A♥A♦
Picone's move proved to be ill-timed. Istomin flopped top set on A♠9♠7♣, and while the 10♣ turn gave Picone a gutshot, the innocuous K♥ river decided the pot in Istomin's favor.
