Pignataro Claims Another Bounty as Cirja Exits
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Cristian Cirja made it 100,000 to go from middle position, leaving himself around 17,000 behind. When it got to Luigi Pignataro in the big blind, he shoved, and Cirja called off the remainder of his stack.
Cristian Cirja: K♠Q♠ 
Luigi Pignataro: 6♦6♣
Cirja was flipping for his tournament life, and did pick up a few extra outs on the 9♠J♦2♥ flop in the form of a gutshot. Despite the 6♠ turn improving Pignataro to a set, Cirja added a flush draw to go along with his straight draw.
Unfortunately for Cirja, neither of those draws came to fruition as the 4♣ river meant he had to make the walk to the payout desk. Not too long ago, Zdenek Zizka also hit the rail.
