Fitoussi Triples Up

Kirk Brown

Level 6 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

On a three-way flop of 5?6?K?, Bruno Fitoussi moved the rest of his chips into the pot of already 90,000. Then Oswin Ziegelbecker shoved over the top for 112,000 total and the action was over to Joao Vieira who went deep into the tank.

After using all four of his time banks, Vieira finally made the call, putting himself at risk as the cards were tabled.

Bruno Fitoussi: A?A?4?3?
Joao Vieira: 10?9?8?7?
Oswin Ziegelbecker: A?K?Q?9?

Fitoussi was currently in the lead with his nut flush draw and pocket aces, but still had to dodge a lot of two-pair and straight-outs.

The turn came the Q? to give Oswin Ziegelbecker the lead with two-pair of kings and queens, but the river 5? gave the win to Fitoussi with his aces and fives.

Ziegelbecker managed to get a small rebate by taking the side pot while Vieira was sent to the rail.
