Piccioli Grows Stronger; Mao Eliminated
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Just after Ru Mao's recent double up, he got his chips all in and at risk against Bryan Piccioli preflop.
Ru Mao: A♣Q♥
Bryan Piccioli: A♥K♦
The flop favored Mao as it scrolled across 9♥J♣Q♦, the turn bricked the 4♦ but the 10♠ made Piccioli the nut straight, awarding him a pot worth well over a million.
