Di Nicola Picks Up Aces to Double Off Pansier
Level 8
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Ermanno Di Nicola raised to 5,000 in middle position and Nino Pansier three-bet to 25,000 in the big blind. Di Nicola four-bet to 85,000 and Pansier called.
The flop came K♥J♣J♥ and Di Nicola put in his last 40,000. Pansier took a minute but eventually called to put Di Nicola at risk.
Ermanno Di Nicola: A♥A♠Q♦9♥ 
Nino Pansier: K♦10♣9♣8♦
Di Nicola was ahead with his aces, while Pansier had a pair and straight draw. The 10♥ fell on the turn, while Di Nicola dodged the 9♦ river as he doubled up.
Viktor Blom and Jan-Peter Jachtmann were both recently eliminated.
