Pescatori Inches Back Towards Solid Ground

[user75032]

It was looking grim for the Italian Pirate. Max Pescatori was committed from the blinds with {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{6-Diamonds}

{4-Spades}

{3-Spades}

and found himself against Jeff Tunkel's {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{A-Spades}

{2-Hearts}

{5-Diamonds}

. Solution? Flop two pair! Pescatori made tens and three on a flop of {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{7-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

, then faded every card he needed to fade on the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

turn and

{K-Hearts}

river to secure a double-up.

Pescatori is still mighty short, but having 27,000 chips buys him a little more time.
