Uguccioni Doubles After Almost Mucking Winning Hand
The action started with a raise to 10,000 by Daniil Kiselev from under the gun and Michael Uguccioni called in the cutoff, as did Oren Rosen in the big blind. On the 
flop, the action checked to Kiselev and he continued for 14,500, only the Italian called.
Kiselev continued for another 45,000 on the 
turn and Uguccioni called, leaving himself with just 6,000 behind. Kiselv's bet of 6,000 on the 
river saw the Italian call all in and, upon spotting the 
of Kiselev, he wanted to muck his cards. It was explained to Uguccioni that he had to show as part of an all in showdown, and the Italian reluctantly turned over his 
, with the words "but he has the best hand."
There were gasps as the table, and Aviv Meiri told him that good news, only then Uguccioni glanced over at the other side of the table. "What do you have? Ace jack? I thought you have the better two pair," Uguccioni added. He was then shipped the pot for the full double up and walked away from the table to take a break after this mishap.
