Phiniotis Blasts Ciancanelli

Tobias Fischer opened the actin with a raise to 11,500 from the hijack and Teresio Ciancanelli three-bet all in for 18,000 on the button. Chrysi Phiniotis was in the big blind and asked for confirmation of the amounts and then announced a call, which Fischer also matched, meaning any future action between Phiniotis and Fischer would be in a side pot as Ciancanelli had his sights set on a triple.

Aciton checked through the flop and the turn came . Phiniotis put out a bet of 19,000 and Fischer quickly let his hand go.

Teresio Ciancanelli:
Chrysi Phiniotis:

Ciancanelli saw the bad news and was down to one last shot at hitting one of the two remaining eights in the deck to triple, but the river was one pip lower than he needed and he was eliminated from the tournament.
