Max Pescatori Eliminated

After a raise to 625 from the under-the-gun player, Max Pescatori called from the cutoff seat, as did the big-blind player. The flop came {K-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}. The big blind bet 1,500 and the initial raiser passed. Pescatori raised all in for 3,600 and got a quick call. The players showed:

Pescatori: {A-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}
Opponent: {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}

The turn and river came the {3-Diamonds} and {4-Clubs}, respectively, which were no help to the Italian and he was eliminated.
