Iacovone Gets Lucky
Level 10
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
The player first to act raised to 4,500 and action folded around to Michael Iacovone in the big blind. However, the initial raiser thought that everyone had folded and tabled . The floor was called over and Iacovone was told he could still play his hand against the face up hand if he wished. Indeed he did wish to play his hand as he moved all in for his last 9,300.
The opponent threw in 4,800 more to make the call and almost surprised to see he was well ahead of Iacovone's . The flop was though and Iacovone jumped into the lead. The turn and river kept him there and he doubled up to 21,000.
