Rollercoaster of Emotions For Passaro
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Gabriele Passaro had gotten his stack of around 60,000 into the middle and Philipp Hartwig had shoved behind for 180,000. Marcello Manganiello was contemplating whether to call but elected to fold and showed A♦K♦ face up.
Gabriele Passaro: 7♥7♦ 
Philipp Hartwig: A♣K♣
"Nooo," said Passaro as he saw the A♥ in the window of the flop.
"YESSSSS," he shouted as the 4♣7♣ followed it, which improved him to a set. However, Hartwig had picked up a flush draw and completed it on the 2♣ turn, yet Passaro hadn't seen it as he had turned away from the table upon realizing he hit a set. When Passaro turned back, he saw the J♣ land on the river and then understood that he had been eliminated.
