Action Flop Gives Natividad Heaps and Leaves Fiorentino on Fumes
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Marc Fiorentino opened the action with a raise to 9,000 from the hijack, and after it folded to the big blind Robert Natividad, he made the call.
After the flop came A♠Q♣9♠ Natividad checked to Fiorentino, who bet out 16,000. Natividad then raised to 55,000, and Fiorentino three-bet to put Natividad all in for his stack of 171,000. Natividad wasted no time and put in the chips to call.
Robert Natividad: K♠J♠ 
Marc Fiorentino: A♦9♦
It was an action flop with Fiorentino ahead with his two pair, but Natividad had straight draw and flush draw. Once the turn came the 10♣ , and river 10♦ Natividad had the best hand with a straight, to take the massive pot.
A few hands later Fiorentino was seen leaving the tournament area after being eliminated.
