[Removed:287] Doubles Up, Leaves Puccini Short

[Removed:284] has just doubled through Mario Puccini to leave the latter with 23 big blind.

Puccini opened to 225,000 first in from the small blind and [Removed:287] called from the big blind. The dealer put out the {4-Hearts} {a-Spades} {2-Spades} flop and Puccini fired a continuation bet of 200,000 only to see [Removed:287] raise all in for 1,800,000! Puccini made the call but he stood up from his seat and winced when he saw his opponent's holding.

Puccini: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}
[Removed:287]: {5-Spades} {4-Spades}

[Removed:287]'s pair and flush draw meant it was a 50/50 situation but it was soon 100/0 in favour of [Removed:287] because the turn was the {9-Spades} . The meaningless {5-Clubs} landed on the river and [Removed:287] flew up the chip counts.
