Falconieri Ate His Dinner Early
Level 8: 600/1200 (1200)
Entries: 323/479
Action folded to Simone Falconieri on the cutoff, who opened to 3,000. From the small blind, David Marshall shoved his remaining 33,500 chips. Falconieri took his time before deciding to call, and both players showed their hands:
- David Marshall: A♠K♠
- Simone Falconieri: A♥J♥
Both players held suited aces, but Falconieri had kicker trouble going into the showdown.
The board ran out 4♦3♣2♥, giving Falconieri a single heart. The turn 6♥ improved his draw to a flush, but the river 4♠ bricked for him, allowing Marshall to double up just before the dinner break.
Simone Falconieri – 18,000
David Marshall – 70,000
