Lomuscio Runs Into Aces
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Giuseppe Lomusciora called an under-the-gun raise of 80,000 from the big blind, then liked the flop 6♣10♣9♠ enough to shove his remaining 450,000 chips into the pot. Christopher Staats made the call.
Giuseppe Lomusciora: 10♥3♥
Christopher Staats: A♠A♦
Staats' aces held through the runout of 2♣K♥. Lomuscio was left with only 60,000 chips, a third of which would be required as the small blind in the next hand.
When the action got back to him, Lomuscio chose to go all in against Oscar Johansson.
Giuseppe Lomuscio: A♠9♥
Oscar Johansson: K♣10♠
Lomuscio was ahead after the flop Q♦4♣10♣, but Johannson paired his king on the turn of K♦ and the river 7♦ didn't change a thing.
