Pescatori Walks The Plank

pieces of eight, pieces of eight

Shiver mi timbers, mi hearties, we're an Italian Pirate down as bracelet winner Max Pescatori hits the deck in a monster three-way pot.

It was Andrew Teng who kicked off the action, raising it up to 150 preflop only for Pescatori to make the call and young William Martin to bump it up to 550. Both players called.

On a {3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop, everyone checked, only for initial aggressor Teng to lead for 900 on the {3-Clubs} turn. Pescatori made it 2,000, Martin pushed all in, Teng called, and so did Pescatori.

On their backs, and Martin had Teng dominated with aces versus kings, but would need to dodge a seven and a club against Pescatori's {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. But dodge them he did, meaning Martin now has circa 18,000 whilst Teng drops to 3,200.

As the shortest stack, however, Pescatori could only conclude "Well, that was fun" and exit stage left disgruntled.
