Double-Up for Pirisi
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Rosen Apostolov opened to 700 from early position before being faced with a three-bet to 3,600 from Matteo Pirisi in the cutoff. Aleksandr Ilin was on the button, and he cold-called, while Apostolov got out of the way.
On the 10♥4♣2♥ flop, Pirisi continued with a bet of 4,000, receiving a quick call from Ilin.
The 2♦ turn brought fireworks. Pirisi fired out another bet of 6,000, and Ilin quickly moved all in for 21,500 total, with Pirisi snap-calling to put himself at risk.
Matteo Pirisi: A♣2♣ 
Aleksandr Ilin: 6♥6♣
Pirisi was in great shape with the turned trip deuces, and only had to fade a six to secure the double-up. The 3♦ river was a brick and Ilin was left with crumbs.
