Diamonds are Agrello's Best Friend

In a multi-way limped pot, four players saw a flop of {6-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}. The blinds checked, and Salim Ghozali led out with an overbet of 11,000. In position, Maurizio Agrello made the call, the small blind folded, and Francesco Cirianni went into the tank as the last player to act. It would be another two or three minutes before the short-stacked Cirianni announced an all in for just over 30,000 total. Ghozali didn't take long to call, and Agrello came right along as well to put an increasingly large pot in the middle of the table.

The turn came the scary {9-Diamonds}, and Ghozali checked. Agrello quickly announced an all in, and Ghozali slammed his cards into the muck. Cirianni was now at risk against Agrello, and he would soon see that he was drawing dead:

Cirianni: {K-Spades} {J-Diamonds}
Agrello: {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}

The river is irrelevant (the {Q-Clubs} if you're scoring at home), and Cirianni's elimination moves Agrello all the way up to about 215,000.
