Tocci Doubles Up
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Michele Tocci, who finished in in third place in last year's WSOP Europe Main Event, moved all in for 55,000 from under the gun. The action folded to Frederik Thiemer in the small blind. He made it 331,000. Marius Kudzmanas was in the big blind and had 163,000 behind. He thought about shipping his chips into the middle but opted to return to his cards to the dealer instead.
Michele Tocci: A♠8♣
Frederik Thiemer: K♦Q♥
Tocci made two pair on the A♥9♥8♦ flop and sealed the checkmark on the 9♦ turn ahead of the 6♦ completing the board.
