Alberto Scuderi is a frequent final tableist in Playground events, but he found himself uncomfortably short and all in with just 11K – but then a double up and a steal of the blinds and he was back in some health…
Until this hand, against Michael McKinnon. After “normal” preflop action, the dealer laid out . Alberto put out a small c-bet, and Michael raised, getting a reaction from Alberto suggesting he wasn’t at all happy… but that he was all in for his remaining stack. Michael made a very quick call and Alberto showed his while Michael flipped . There was no help left in the deck for Alberto as a pair of Fives came on the turn and river. Alberto headed to the Tournament Desk to pick up his payout coupon.
