Astarita Busts Mehlil with Rockets
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Marc Eicher opened to 2,200 from middle position and was called by Anouar Mehlil on the button. Giulio Astarita was in the small blind, and he pumped it up to 6,800. Eicher quickly got out of the way, but Mehlil back-jammed for 13,500, earning a snap call from Astarita, who comfortably covered his opponent.
Anouar Mehlil: 2?2? 
Giulio Astarita: A?A?
Mehlil had run his deuces into rockets, and no unlikely escape was provided by the Q?5?7?10?9? runout.
