Firestone Skids

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Mario Adinolfi got his last 110,000 chips into the pot preflop in bad shape, running his {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} into the {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} of Robert Firestone. Things would improve for Adinolfi, however.

The {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} looked like a darn good one for the Italian at first, but a second glance sees the Royal Flush draw Firestone had flopped.

"I folded the king of spades," Tome Moreira announced.

No matter. The case {K-Clubs} dropped right on fourth street, and that robbed nearly all of Firestone's outs. He needed to find the {10-Diamonds} and only the {10-Diamonds} to make the winning hand, but the river {9-Clubs} was not it.

That blank river marks a much-needed double for Adinolfi, while the loss knocks Firestone back to about 345,000.
