Palascino's Aces Get Cracked

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Nathan Gonikman bowed out when he faced the shoves of Joseph Palascino and Ioannis Chorianopoulos with two premium pocket pairs clashing.

Joseph Palascino: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Ioannis Chorianopoulos: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

After the {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop Palascino gasped a "vaffanculo" and the {10-Spades} turn and {6-Diamonds} river brought no help to the Belgian.

"I folded pocket sevens," Gonikman said in table chat and Chorianopoulos replied "easy fold."

Efstathios Komitas
Efstathios Komitas

In a battle button versus big blind, Efstathios Komitas and Yaniv Kaldaron got their stacks in after the {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts} turn and one of the biggest pots of the day thus far emerged a few spots away from the money bubble.

Yaniv Kaldaron: {4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Efstathios Komitas: {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

Komitas needed the board to pair and he did so thanks to the {8-Diamonds} river to boost his stack above half a million.
