|
Italy’s Federico Butteroni came into the 2015 World Series of Poker main event final table on the short stack and essentially blinded himself out of the tournament.
The 25-year-old poker player from Rome only played two of the 35 hands he was dealt. On the first, his preflop shove got through. On the second, he ran his final five big blinds and the A
J
into the A
K of chip leader Joe McKeehen.
The board ran out 106
397 and Butteroni hit the rail. For his efforts, he did take home $1,097,056.
Card Player TV caught his post-bustout press conference on video, in which he discussed laddering up to eighth place and the support of friends, family and country.
