Kevin Iacofano Eliminated in 11th Place ($39,874)

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Kevin Iacofano - 11th Place
Kevin Iacofano - 11th Place

Robert Merulla opened to 36,000 from under the gun, Kevin Iacofano three-bet shoved for 308,000 on the button, and Mauro Stivoli tanked before re-shoving from the small blind. Merulla mucked, and the hands were opened.

Iacofano: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Stivoli: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

It was a race, but Stivoli jumped out to a massive lead when the flop fell {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. The {k-Hearts} on the turn ended it, and the {j-Diamonds} on the river was but a formality.

Stivoli's rail was boisterous as always, and the Italian is now over a million chips.
