D'Agostino Done By Fischman
Stud-8
A five-way Stud-8 hand is a poker reporter's worst nightmare, so we'll do our best to recount the hand that led to the recent elimination of John D'Agostino.
We caught the action on fifth street and D'Agostino was already all in when we arrived at the table. Hani Awad led the betting with Phil Galfond and Jeff Lisandro making the call before Scott Fischman raised. All three opponents made the call.
Lisandro paired his board on sixth street and took control, but Fischman was again the aggressor on the river. Awad and Galfond released as Lisandro made the call.
Awad: (X-X) / / (X)
Galfond: (X-X) / / (X)
Lisandro: (X-X) / / (X)
Fischman: () /
D'Agostino: (X-X) / / (X)
Fischman was the only one to show as he revealed an eight-high straight and seventy-six low to scoop. D'Agostino mucked and hit the rail as Fischman moved up to 95,000.
