Eldabach and Casagrande Double
Level 8
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Dorel Eldabach was all-in and at risk with A♦A♣6♥5♦ against the A♥A♠J♠5♣ of Jose Scarano, and this time, fortune was on his side on the 8♠7♦2♠J♦9♣ runout as Scarano's flush draw missed and Eldabach's straight draw came in.
"I lost a big pot like this before," Eldabach mentioned, referring to his knockout on the first bullet against Nikolaos Lampropoulos with aces versus aces preflop.
Moments later, Harald Casagrande was all-in for 29,900 on the Q♣3♣2♠4♦ turn against Nino Pansier.
Harald Casagrande: Q♦J♣8♣8♥
Nino Pansier: A♣K♣10♦7♣
Pansier had two over cards and clubs to beat the top pair of Casagrande. The river was the 8♦ and Casagrande doubled with a set of eights.
