Riccobono Ousted

Al Riccobono
Al Riccobono

Al Riccobono was working with about 12,000 chips when we saw him put in a standard three-bet preflop. Another opponent came in with a cold four-bet, and Riccobono's subsequent shove was eventually called. Mr. Opponent showed up pocket fours, hoping for a coin flip. But Riccobono's two aces were in a big lead.

That advantage was short-lived, however, as the dealer dropped a third four promptly on the flop. Riccobono could not catch back up, and he's been sent off in frustrating fashion.
