Larsen Busts Poletti
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Luigi Pignataro opened to 17,000 from early position. Birger Larsen then three-bet to 54,000 from the cutoff. Clement Poletti called in the small blind for 18,000 and was covered by both players.
Pignataro went into the tank before folding.
Clement Poletti: A♠9♥
Birger Larsen: A♣8♦
Poletti stayed ahead across the 2♣2♥10♣ flop and stayed ahead on the 4♠ turn. The 8♠ gave Larsen two pair and the pot, eliminating Poletti in the process. He wished the table luck before departing the tournament area.
