Acocelli In The Rail

Maxime Taldir

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

From early position, Randall Acocelli said he moved all in without looking at his cards. In middle position, Romain Lewis clearly saw which hand he had, and he was the only player to call Acocelli's 250,000 chips.

Randall Acocelli: A♥8♠
Romain Lewis: J♠J♦

There was no hope for Acocelli because Lewis found a full house on 3♥J♥A♦9♥3♣. Despite his elimination, Acocelli kept his smile while walking towards the payout, while Lewis climbs to 975,000 chips.
