Cero Zuccarello Crippled, Then Eliminated in 24th Place ($50,000)
Jan 09, '09
Cero Zuccarello raised under the gun and Andy Fitzpatrick defended his big blind.
The flop came 9
5
2 and after a series of bets, Zuccarello put Fitzpatrick all in. Fitzpatrick instantly called and showed top and bottom pair. Zuccarello could only show ace-high. The turn and river were no help and Fitzpatrick doubled up to over 1 million in chips.
Zuccarello was left with just over 100,000 and was eliminated shortly afterwards when his K-4 offsuit failed to catch up to Kevin Saul and his pocket nines.
