Bryan Piccioli Triples Up
Mustapha Kanit opened to 850,000 from early position and Nino Ullmann moved all-in for just over 6,500,000~ as the next player to act. After a few folds, Bryan Piccioli put his final 650,000 at risk in the cutoff.
The button and blinds passed before Kanit called as the covering stack.
Kanit: [8d8c]
Ullmann: [AdAc]
Piccioli: [KhJh]
Kanit needed to catch to score the double elimination and Piccioli needed to catch to stay alive. The former inched closer to safety after the [9h4h2d] flop and Piccioli picked up even more outs after the [Kd] came on the turn.
The [6h] completed the short stack’s flush and as the dealer took inventory of Ullmann’s stack, Piccioli briefly celebrated the triple before saying to Martin Zamani, “I was down to 650,000 – twice.”
