Manfredi Emerges From Three-Way All In
Robert Ashelm raised to 16,000 under the gun and Roberto Manfredi called in early position. Luigi Pignataro then three-bet to 46,000 in middle position, and both opponents called.
The flop came K♦9♥3♥ and Pignataro bet 51,000. Ashelm called, but Manfredi then moved all in for 349,000. Pignataro called for his last 70,000, while Ashelm shot up from his seat and asked the dealer to confirm Manfredi's stack before he also slammed in a tower of chips to call.
Luigi Pignataro: A♦A♣ 
Roberto Manfredi: 3♦3♠
Robert Ashelm: K♥Q♥
Ashelm had top pair with a flush draw, Pignataro showed two aces, but Manfredi was in the lead with a set. The Q♦ turn gave Ashelm additional outs with two pair, but Manfredi held on through the 10♣ river to scoop the pot. Pignataro was eliminated, while Manfredi earned the double up off Ashelm.
