Maccatrozzo Eliminates Tantillo
Level 6
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With the board showing K♥10♠5♥J♦ and with around 27,000 in the middle, Luca Maccatrozzo jammed from the small blind. The bet was for Fausto Tantillo's stack of around 30,000. After giving it some thought, Tantillo stuck in the call to put himself at risk.
Fausto Tantillo: A♦K♠
Luca Maccatrozzo: Q♥9♥
Maccatrozzo had a straight, and only a queen on the river could save Tantillo by giving him a higher straight. It wasn't to be as the A♠ rolled off the river to give Tantillo a meaningless two pair, and all of his chips were sent over to Maccatrozzo.
