Peluso Fights Back from the Brink
Yiannakis Papapetrou opened to 3,000 from middle position and Fabio Peluso moved all in for 23,200 from the hijack. Boris Tabiyev called from the button with a covering stack and Papapetrou got out of the way.
Fabio Peluso: J♦J♣ 
Boris Tabiyev: A♥K♦
Tabiyev was drawing dead by the turn on the J♠3♥5♥3♦7♠ runout. Peluso's full house was good at showdown and he scored a full double up.
Just a couple hands later, in another preflop confrontation, Peluso found himself all in and at risk for 53,100 and was up against Miad Shakiba who covered.
Fabio Peluso: A♦K♣
Miad Shakiba: A♣Q♣
Peluso was in great shape with the bigger ace and remained ahead on the 5♥4♥7♥2♥10♦ runout to score a second full double, effectively quadrupling his stack from what it was at just a few hands prior.
