Ferro’s Set of Jacks Cracked
Level 12: 1500/3000 (3000)
Entries: 126/346
Massimiliano Ferro opened from an early position, attracting three calls from Bulgaria’s Nikolay Zhurnalov, Simon Lindell on the button, and Aaron Keenan in the big blind. The flop came J♠8♠6♥, and after everyone checked to him, Lindell fired out a 12,000 bet. Ferro, the original raiser, made a suspicious call, while the others folded.
The turn brought the 3♦, and Ferro checked again, only for Lindell to put him all-in for about 40,000. Ferro snap-called and confidently turned over [invalid notations] for the flopped nuts—a set of jacks. But the hand wasn’t over yet, as Lindell revealed [invalid notations], needing a spade to complete his flush.
In a dramatic turn of events, the river delivered the K♠, sealing Ferro’s fate and sending him out of 1D. Lindell’s flush prevailed, knocking out the Italian in a tough spot.
Simon Lindell – 210,000
Massimiliano Ferro – 0
