Fiorenti Calls Off For His Tournament Life With Third Pair
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Action folded to Preston Patz in the cutoff, and he raised to 6,000. He was called by the small blind Chris Nelson, and the big blind Marc Fiorenti.
The flop came 10♣6♣4♦ and it checked to Patz, who bet out 8,000. Nelson folded, and Fiorenti made the call.
After the J♠ on the turn, Fiorenti checked to Patz, who asked to see the stack of Fiorenti, and instantly put him all in for 26,000. Fiorenti wasted no time and snap called to put his tournament at risk.
Marc Fiorenti: K♣6♥ 
Preston Patz: K♥Q♣
Fiorenti correctly called off with third pair, but would have to fade the opened ended straight draw, and one over card of Patz. When the river came the 5♥ the pair of sixes of Fiorenti was still best, to give him the pot and double up.
