Montagnolli Runs Into Tsai's Bigger Pair
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Eric Tsai raised to 65,000 in early position before Daniel Montagnolli three-bet to 165,000 in the hijack. Tsai called and they went heads-up to the 3♥3♦5♥ flop.
Montagnolli continued for 105,000 and Tsai then moved all in. Montagnolli tanked for a minute before calling for his last 350,000.
Daniel Montagnolli: A♣5♣
Eric Tsai: J♣J♦
Both players had two pair, but Tsai was ahead with jacks and threes as the 3♣ turn improved both to a full house. The river was the K♥ and Tsai's pocket pair stayed in front to send Montagnolli to the rail.
