Marco Starnoni Eliminated in 13th Place ($1,804)

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Marco Starnoni
Marco Starnoni

Marco Starnoni had a great chance to eliminate Bobby Schmidt in a preflop all in, holding pocket rockets, {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} vs the {k-Spades}{5-Spades} of Schmidt.

But the flop hit Schmidt as it came the {10-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{5-Clubs} to send the aces into a sudden spiral against the two-pair. The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and the river came the {2-Clubs} to leave Starnoni with crumbs and give Schmidt a healthy stack.

Although Starnoni would hang around a while afterwards by winning two all ins, he would eventually succumb to Rico Cuevas when his {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} could not chase down the {a-}{q-} in a preflop all in to end his tournament in thirteenth place.
