Funda Iacona

Funda Iacona

Frédéric Moreau open-shoved for an actually still rather hefty 11,000; a couple seats to his left Funda La Iacona reshoved for 16,000 or so. It folded around to Ian Simpson in the small blind, who made the call.

Three-way all in!

Moreau: :::8h :::8c
La Iacona: :::7h :::7c
Simpson: :::Kc :::Qc

The various pots and side pots were a little beyond the dealer; Simpson called out instructions to him and within a minute or two it had all been sorted out. “Deal a king and get it over with,” he grinned at the dealer once all the chips had been placed in their correct piles.

Board: :::2s :::Jh :::7s :::9s :::Qh

La Iacona, who had already gathered her belongings to leave, claiming that she had “no luck”, suddenly lucked out and more than doubled up to around 40,000. Moreau meanwhile is no more; Simpson is still doing just fine on 40,000.
