I Juan to Win
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
We arrived to find the flop reading and Juan Maceiras all in to cover Luca Cainelli, most of whose chips were already in the middle - there was what looked like over 80,000 in the pot, and Cainelli had less than 25,000 remaining in front of him.
Cainelli tanked up long enough for the clock to be called, but within seconds of floorman Clement arriving for the countdown, Cainelli had folded. The Italian is now at less than half the average stack; the Spanish Team PokerStars Pro meanwhile is at roughly 125,000.
"Ace eight or a set?" asked Cainelli sadly. Maceiras' reply suggested that it could have been either of those things, or a flush draw.
