Doe Shoves on Peluso

Level 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Heads-up on a board of Q?7?7?4? and around 25,000 in the pot, Fabio Peluso bet 22,000 from the big blind before John Doe F raised to 50,000 on the button.

Peluso took a minute before calling as the 6? fell on the river. Doe then moved all in for 63,500.

Peluso again went into the tank, taking nearly five minutes until he tossed his cards into the muck.

"Kings?" Doe asked him. He then offered Peluso to show one and Peluso picked the A?.

"Aces. Second time with aces," tablemate Sultan Meirbekov said.

Peluso's countryman Candido Cappiello recently joined the field and took his seat at this table.
