Calderaro Survives

James Calderaro
James Calderaro
Before the flop, James Calderaro was all in and up against two opponents, Aaron Coulthard and Luis Nargentino. The flop came {9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades}, prompting Coulthard to push all in for 522,000. Nargentino got out of the way.

Coulthard turned over {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, eliciting a puzzled shake of the head from Nargentino. Then Calderaro turned his hand over -- {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a pair of eights.

The turn was the {4-Hearts} and river the {J-Spades}, and Calderaro survives with 860,000.
