Pescatori Scoops a Monster

Stud-8:

Max Pescatori (X-X) {A-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} (X)

Joe Cassidy (X-X) {7-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {9-Hearts} (X)

Loi Tran (X-X) {K-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {J-Clubs} (X)

Eli Elezra (X-X) {6-Clubs} {2-Spades} {9-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}

We picked this pot up on fifth street, after it had been three-bet by Pescatori on fourth. Pescatori, with the highest board bet out and was called by Cassidy, Tran and Elezra. On sixth, Pescatori led again. Cassidy and Tran called, but Elezra folded. On seventh street it was the same story.

Pescatori turned up {2-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {7-Clubs} in the hole-- two pair sevens and threes for high and 7-6-3-2-A for low. Both Cassidy and Tran mucked and Pescatori scooped the pot.

The Italian Pirate is now up to 127,000.
