No Split To Save Calderone

MaximeTaldir

Niveau 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ramin Hajiyev in the hijack opened to 11,000, then saw Eros Calderone moving all in for 110,000 chips from the small blind. Hajiyev didn't wait and made the call.

Eros Calderone: A♦10♣
Ramin Hajiyev: A♣Q♣

On the edge of elimination, Calderone stood up and was ready to leave after the flop 9♥3♦3♥. However, he sat back down when the 9♠ came on the turn, knowing he could chop the pot with two pairs on the board and his ace.

But the terrible A♠ landed on the river, giving two pairs with a better kicker to Hajiyev. Calderone stood up again and left the tournament area in 276th place for €10,200.
