Traniello All In and Called

Marco Traniello

An under-the-gun player raised to 1,000 and found a call from another player in early position. Marco Traniello, who was short stacked with 4,375, then moved all in from middle position and was quickly called by the button. The other two players folded as the ESPN cameras swarmed the table to catch Traniello's all-in moment.

Showdown
Traniello: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Button: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

As one might expect, it was a flip. Traniello sat motionless and stoic as the board ran out a harmless {7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. While he did double, Traniello is still fairly short with 11,300.
