Giacomo Maisto Eliminated in 4th Place (€100,000)
Vladimir Geshkenbein raised to 210,000 under the gun and Giacomo Maisto called out of the big blind. They saw a flop.
Flop:
Maisto checked to Geshkenbein, who bet 275,000. Back to Maisto, who spent a few moments fingering stacks of orange T25,000 chips, before announcing all in. Geshkenbein asked how much it was, but before the dealer had had a chance to assess it, Geshkenbein told him, "Doesn't matter. I call." They flipped the cards.
Geshkenbein:
Maisto: well ahead with
Turn: - no change there.
River: wait for it... !
Maisto banged the table in frustration and stormed off for a moment, while Geshkenbein grinned widely. A second later Maisto had returned and they were shaking hands, Geshkenbein telling him, "Unlucky." The stacks were finally assessed - they were close - and it was established that Maisto was indeed covered.
The players are now taking a short break before we continue, three-handed.
