Celestino Eliminated in Major Blind-vs-Blind Cooler
Some hands are just flat out bad luck, but that doesn't make them any less disgusting, especially when such hands happen so close to the money. That's exactly what happened to Ariel Celestino as he was just coolered in a blind-vs-blind situation.
When we arrived, Rachid Ben Cherif had 81,000 laid out in front of him in the small blind while Celestino had 42,000 out in front in the big. The latter responded by making it 142,000 to go, Cherif moved all in, and Celestino called off for a little over 400K.

It was a major cooler and Celestino looked devastated. He was up out of his seat and went to his rail for consolation. He turned back to watch the cards, but one by one they fell until the board read 
. Celestino failed to get lucky and he watched his big stack pushed over to Cherif.
