Aces On The Big Blind – No Problem
Level 33: 100,000/200,000 (200,000)
Entries: 14/2045
Saverio Rizzello opened to 400k, and action folded to Angelo Vietti (pictured below) on the big blind, who pushed his last 10 big blinds in the middle. Rizzello snap-called and was shown the bad news.
- Saverio Rizzello: A♠K♠
- Angelo Vietti: A♣A♥
The flop came 8♥K♥Q♣, giving Rizzello a glimmer of hope with some outs. But the turn 4♥ and river 6♦ kept Vietti’s aces strong, securing an important double-up! Rizzello was left with 1.4 million after the hand but managed to score a nice double-up with a better ace shortly after, bringing him back to 3 million.
Saverio Rizzello – 1,400,000
Angelo Vietti – 4,200,000
