La Francesca's Sixes Hold On
Level 17
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Cristian Veres opened from early position and Alessio La Francesca three-bet the small blind to around 225,000, leaving himself a small amount behind. Veres shoved, and La Francesca called.
Alessio La Francesca: 6♥6♣ 
Cristian Veres: K♥Q♦
It was a classic race, and one that La Francesca had to win to remain in the hunt. Those pocket sixes did manage to hold as the A♣3♣2♥8♠2♦ runout missed Veres completely.
