Aces No Good for Pichierri
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
David Froyalde opened the button to 30,000 and Jessica Cai defended the big blind.
The players saw a 9♥6♥9♠ flop and Cai checked. Froyalde bet 25,000 which was enough to get Cai to fold, having only 150,000 chips behind.
A few hands later on the same table Alessandro Pichierri opened to 30,000 from an early position and Antonio Vargas, who was sat to Pichierri's direct left, raised to 70,000. Pichierri was all in and Vergas made the call.
Alessandro Pichierri: A♣A♦
Antonio Vargas: A♥10♣
Pichierri was hoping to hold, but the 10♦4♥10♥ flop gave Vargas the lead. Pichierri couldn't find a way back on the 5♣ turn and 8♥ river and was eliminated from the tournament despite spinning his stack back from 35,000 in the previous level. ,
