Pichierri Cracks Gocer's Aces
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Alper Gocer raised from middle position, Alessandro Pichierri three-bet, Gocer four-bet, and Pichierri moved all in. Gocer quickly made the call. Players had similar stacks, but Gocer was covered as players flipped their cards.
Alper Gocer: A?A? 
Alessandro Pichierri: A?5?
The board ran out 2?8?Q?3?4?. Gocer had pocket aces and was in great shape on the flop. The turn gave Pichierri backdoor straight outs and the river completed his straight.
"It's my hand!", said Pichierri as he scooped over a huge pot. Gocer, meanwhile, was eliminated from the tournament.
