Bracchi Delivers First Big Blow at Last Table
The action slowed to a grinding halt in four-handed play at one table and five handed at the other, On the four-man table, they played 10 straight hands, and 13 out of 14, without seeing a flop.
That changed quickly when the last table began with eight players. (The official final table will not begin until there are seven players remaining.)
On the second hand, Kieran Walsh raised to 2,400,000 from middle position. Nicola Bracchi raised to 6,000,000 chips from the cutoff.
Before he could pull his hand back from counting his raise, Hertsel Levy went all in on the button with his 86,000,000 chip stack.
Walsh got out of the way, but Bracchi quickly made the call, going all in with his 30,800,000.
Nicola Bracchi: A♥A♠
Hertsel Levy: Q♥Q♦
Perfect timing for Bracchi to hit a monster hand, and the runout of 6♦K♦2♠2♣A♦3♠ gave him a full house and huge double up.
