Diamonds Are Pescatori's Best Friend
Level 19
: 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo
Andrew Kelsall lost a big hand with flush under flush against Kyle Loman, then doubled his short stack against Esther Taylor.
In a seven-card stud hi-lo hand, Max Pescatori started singing, "Beautiful diamonds," when he was the only one with a diamond as an up-card showing. Brandon Shack-Harris completed with a four, and Pescatori called. The Italian found another diamond on fourth street and bet, and Shack-Harris called.
On fifth street, the diamonds did look beautiful, as Pescatori picked up another, and his bet forced a fold from Shack-Harris.
