Breaking Tan

The Tan Section has begun to slowly break. Here are some counts of the remaining players from the section.

While walking around we found Filippo Candio raising from under the gun, making it 800 to see a flop. The hijack and the button called, and action was on the small blind who three-bet to 7,150. Candio then moved all in, a bet that would put any player at his table all in. The hijack and the button folded and it fell upon the small blind to act. Four to five minutes passed, with the small blind contemplating what the best course of action would be.

After what seemed like ages the small blind announced call and flipped over {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. Candio clearly didn't think his opponent had that good of a hand, but was a good sport about it and flipped over {A-Clubs}{k-Spades}.

The board came {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, and Candio was forced to send over a chunk of his stack.
