Fabbrini Doubles to 14 Big Blinds
Level 25
: 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante
It folded around to extreme short stack Marco Fabbrini in the small blind, who shoved - he'd actually called a raise a hand or two before, meaning that he had only 300,000 or so. Luigi Pignataro in the big blind asked for a count, and sat back in his chair for a moment, considering his options. He called.
Fabbrini:
Pignataro:
There was a queen on the door, but it was quickly followed by a king on the flop. Pignataro had straight outs as well, but the full board ran out and Fabbrini's pair of kings held. He wandered away from the table, overcome with emotion, but he is still very short - he'll have just 700,000 or so when we come back from the break, with the blinds at 25,000/50,000.
