Filippo Candio Everybody

On the flop of {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, Rami Shouman checked to Filippo Candio, the other November Niner here in Cyprus playing this event. He bet out 7,500. Shouman check-raised to 20,000 and Candio called.

The turn brought the {6-Hearts} and both players checked. The river completed the board with the {5-Diamonds} and Shouman checked again to Candio. The Italian fired 40,000 and Shouman mucked his hand, dropping to about 75,000. Candio increased to 127,000.

Shouman said that he folded aces, to which Carter Phillips responded, "I'd have called with ace high!"

Chino Rheem chimed in, "Meet the newest member of the November Nine, Filippo Candio. He snaps off aces with seven-five."
