Pichler Busts; Day 2 Comes to a Close
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Angelo Arossi raised from under the gun and Eros Calderone called on the button. Dieter Pichler squeezed all in from the big blind for around 500,000, forcing Arossi to fold. Calderone called, and the players went to a showdown.
Dieter Pichler: A♠5♣ 
Eros Calderone: A♦J♥
Pichler had made a move with a small ace and was in rough shape against the ace-jack of Calderone.
Both players hit top pair on the A♣9♠7♠ flop, although Calderone was still ahead with the higher kicker.
Pichler picked up a flush draw on the 4♠ turn, but the A♥ on the river meant Calderone won the pot, and Pichler hit the rail.
