Ciao Fiorvanti

Coming into Day 2 of Event #44, Tim Fiorvanti had just over 13,000 chips, and for three and a half levels of play it was a roller coaster. Our fellow media member saw his stack fluctuate up and down nearly every rotation, and unfortunately his attempt at WSOP gold fell short.

Fiorvanti: (X)(X) / {9-} {8-} {4-} {k-} / (X)
Roger Hairabedian: (X)(X) / {6-} {a-} {a-} {q-} / (X)

The hand was completed, and Fiorvanti called a bet from Hairabedian on fourth street. On fifth, Fiorvanti checked, tank-called a bet, and then led out on sixth, getting the rest of his chips in the middle. Hairabedian called.

Fiorvanti: {7-} {4-}
Hairabedian: {9-} {7-}

If Hairabedian bricked on seventh, there was a chance Fiorvanti could catch up. Hairabedian grabbed his last card, pulled it off the table to sweat it with his other two down-cards.

"Just give me a sweat," Fiorvanti told him.

There was no sweat, Hairabedian tabled a {3-} for an unbeatable hand. Fiorvanti turned over a {6-} just to see, then collected his things before exiting the Blue Section of the Amazon Room.
