Fazliu Survives Flip for Tournament Life
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Angelo Arossi opened from middle position to 2,100. He was raised from the button by Baki Fazliu to 5,100, but the Swede looked slightly frustrated as he was quickly reraised all in. Fazliu reluctantly called and was flipping with Arossi for his tournament life.
Baki Fazliu: 7♥7♣
Angelo Arossi: A♣K♠
The flop came Q♦9♥9♦ and gave Arossi more outs as any queen on the subsequent streets would counterfeit Fazliu's sevens.
However, the 4♠ on the turn proved to be no more help for the Italian.
The 3♥ river sealed Fazliu's double-up and sent Arossi to below starting stack.
