Giovanni Rizzo Has Been Eliminated

Giovanni Rizzo was telling us over dinner that he lost his stack very early on in this tournament after running pocket kings into pocket aces in a blind on blind hand. He has just been eliminated and once again it was at the hands of the NLHE pre flop starting hand king – pocket aces.

Rizzo raised to 1,200 in the cutoff off a 14,000 starting stack and the big blind three-bet to 3,000. Rizzo moved all-in with ace-queen, the big blind called with pocket aces and that was that.
