Giacalone Losevs With Another Big Pair

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

Riccardo Giacalone's tournament is over but at least he will have a couple of bad beats to tell his friends back home. He was the player who lost with aces to Charles Chattha's pocket tens and now he is sitting on the rail after his queens were cracked!

Manuel Bevand raised to 18,000 from early position and Nikolay Losev made the call next to act. The remaining players mucked their hands but Giacalone, seated in the big blind, moved all in. Bevand asked him for a count and it turned out he had 142,000 chips.

Bevand decided this was too much but Losev made the call and Giacalone was at risk.

Losev: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Giacalone: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop catapulted Losev into the lead and there he stayed as the turn and river were the {4-Clubs} and {6-Diamonds} respectively, eliminating the Italian and adding even more chips to the stack of the Russian
