D'Alessio Finds Quick Double
Level 41
: Blinds 1,000,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante
On the very first hand of heads-up play, Lucien Cohen raised to 3,000,000 and was called by Ferdinando D'Alessio in the big blind.
The flop of 8?J?K? saw D'Alessio check to Cohen, who fired 7,000,000. D'Alessio took some time before announcing all in for 36,500,000 and Cohen called instantly.
Ferdinando D'Alessio: J?9?
Lucien Cohen: 5?4?
D'Alessio was ahead with a pair of jacks, needing to dodge a club. The 5? turn brought Cohen some additional outs, but the 8? river was safe for D'Alessio to earn the quick double up.
