Max Pescatori is only been playing for an hour but he has already almost doubled his starting stack. He's up to 8,800 now after just eliminating a player with {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} preflop all in against {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Pescatori hit an ace on the turn and river to send his opponent packing. "Nice job dealer" said the player with a big wink and laugh after being eliminated. Pescatori didn't laugh and just focused on stacking his chips.
