Marino Wins the Flip to Eliminate Matti

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

It was a slightly unusual flip between John Marino in the big blind and Armand Matti in the cutoff.

Action was caught on the flop of 234 and both players had already flipped over their cards, even though Matti had around 200,000 chips behind. Marino had AQ and Matti had 99.

Marino bet 200,000 on the flop to put Matti all in. Matti said he is not folding, and after a few moments put his chips in the middle and they were officially all in.

It wasn’t clear why Matti had turned over his hand, but Marino said he did it because he saw his opponent flip over his cards and thought they were all in.

The dealer dealt out the K on the turn and Matti still looked good for the double-up. It was not over before the river, however, and the Q that came was one of Marino’s outs to eliminate Matti.

Calcano Knocked Out By Scott

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Christian Calcano went all in from the cutoff for around 1,800,000 chips and was called by Jordan Scott on the button. Both blinds folded.

Christian Calcano: QJAll in
Jordan Scott: A9

The flop came 710A, giving both players plenty of ways to win. The turn A improved Scott to trips, but Calcano still had some flush outs as well as kings for a straight. Unfortunately for him, the river was the 2 and he was out.

Ben Gazzola: AQAll in
