Max Pescatori, aka 'The Italian Pirate,' took a monster pot away from Sherkhan Farnood just before the break to move up to 85,000 in chips.

On a board showing {6-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{A-Spades}

, Farnood and Pescatori traded raises until the action was capped. The river delivered the {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

and Farnood passed the first action to Pescatori who fired one last bet; Farnood made the call.

At the showdown, Pescatori turned over not one, but TWO aces, good for quads and Farnood just nodded his head, mucking his cards in defeat. Sherkhan was left with 26,500 after the hand.
