Stamatis Sneaks Into the Money
Level 18
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Alkiviadis Stamatis survived the money bubble with just 37,000 and was quickly all in from the small blind as Ferdinando D'Alessio in the big blind and Michele Tocci under the gun put him at risk.
D'Alessio and Tocci checked to the river on a board of Q♥A♦6♥J♥10♣. Tocci then bet 26,000, and D'Alessio quickly folded.
Stamatis showed 10♦9♠, but Tocci had K♦J♠ for a straight to win the pot and send Stamatis to the rail.
