Pescatori on Half a Million

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Mac Pescatori

Max Pescatori busted just shy of the money on Day 1a, however, the Italian has now jumped up to half a million in chips thanks to winning a massive pot off Sebastian Kos.

Andreas Walnum had already been all in while Kos and Pescatori played for a massive side pot. Kos bet the pot on the {Q-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} river and Pescatori reluctantly called.

Kos tabled {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Pescatori had that beat with {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for the second nut flush. Walnum was eliminated with the {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades} and the dealer also already announced the seat open of Kos.

"He can only bet the pot, I didn't raise, I just called," Pescatori said and indeed Kos had a few chips behind. Those would vanish in the very next hand. Roman Cieslik, Andrej Isjurow and Jessica Teusl were also among the first bustouts in the money.
