Pignataro Counterfeits Barbaranelli's Deuces
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Alexandre Barbaranelli shoved his stack of around 90,000 in from the button and was put at risk by Luigi Pignataro in the big blind.
Alexandre Barbaranelli: 2♠2♣ 
Luigi Pignataro: A♠J♦
Barbaranelli had the ducks and needed them to hold up in order to double up. That was going to plan on the K♣6♠5♠5♣ runout, until the K♥ river put two pair on board, which counterfeited Barbaranelli's pair and sent him to the rail.
