Dini's Hero Call Goes Horribly Wrong

David Salituro

Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

In a blind-versus-blind battle, Luigi Pignataro bet 50,000 on a flop of 10?K?10? and Besmir Dini raised to 105,000 in the big blind. Pignataro called and the 7? fell on the turn.

Dini then bet another 105,000, Pignataro raised to 555,000, and Dini called. The river was the Q? and Pignataro bet 1,000,000, enough to put Dini all in.

Dini had around 400,000 remaining and tanked for several minutes before calling. Pignataro turned over 10?2? for trips and Dini mucked as he headed for the exit. The dealer retrieved 7?6? before pushing the pot to Pignataro.

At another table, Francesco Delfoco was all in for 750,000 from the small blind and up against Metodi Peychev in the big blind.

Francesco Delfoco: A?10? All in
Metodi Peychev: A?Q?

Delfoco found himself dominated as both players ended up hitting their ace on the 4?J?6?9?A? board, but Peychev's queen-kicker continued to play to send Delfoco to the rail.
