Paparo Eliminates Three Players At Once
Pierre Merlin shoved from under the gun to 11,500, and he was called by Domenico Paparo in middle position. On his left, the player in the hijack then went all in for 34,000, and the cutoff called his stack.
The action returned to Paparo, who had the largest stack of all players involved in the pot. And he also decided to go all in. The cutoff player decided to join the action as well.
Pierre Merlin: 8♣7♦
Hijack: A♦A♠
Cutoff: 8♠8♥
Domenico Paparo: K♥K♦
Merlin was in a desperate situation in this hand. He was hoping for a straight, but he couldn't win the pot after the flop 5♥Q♣J♦.
Then, the turn revealed the K♠, giving Paparo a set and putting him in the lead. Finally, the river card was the 6♠, resulting in the elimination of the three players with the shortest stacks, just a few minutes before the end of the day.
