Alessandro D’Bini must be feeling very good after this hand.
After a series of raises and re-raises preflop, two players had all of their chips in the middle and when the hands were tabled we had an apparent Big Slick vs. Big Slick battle.
D’Bini: A♦ K♦
Opponent: A♣ K♥
Those diamonds did play into the equation after a flop of 9♥ 5♦ 2♦ was tabled.
Then the turn 3♦ arrived and the opponent is drawing dead! He officially gets the boot when the river 3♠ arrived and D’Bini’s stack grows to over 40,000 after the series of fortunate events!
