Gianluca Cedolia Scores a Massive Triple Up

Matthew Johnson opens from under the gun and receives calls from Ian Tang in middle position, Patrick Quinn in the cutoff and Gianluca Cedolia in the big blind.

The flop comes . Cedolia checks and Johnson bets 5,000. Tang raises to 15,000 and Quinn shoves for around 150,000. Cedolia, who started the hand with 119,000, calls off for his tournament life before Johnson folds. Tang, who has slightly less than Quinn, also calls off for his tournament life.

Gianluca Cedolia:

Ian Tang:

Patrick Quinn:

Cedolia has the nut-straight but has to fade a ton of outs against Tang’s nut-flush draw and Quinn’s top set. He remains ahead when the rest of the board runs out to score a massive triple up while Tang was sent to the rail and Quinn was left short-stacked.

Gianluca Cedolia – 327,000 (164 bb)

Matthew Johnson – 155,000 (78 bb)

Patrick Quinn – 35,000 (18 bb)

Ian Tang – Eliminated
