With a large stack comes great responsibilities.
On blinds of 2,000/4,000/4,000, Jason Carrafiello opened to 8,500 from UTG+1. Action folded around to Cesar Vida on the button. Vida three-bet to 25,000. With action back on Carrafiello, he grabbed a stack of 25k chips and placed them in the middle forcing Vida all-in to call.
Vida looked at Carrafiello briefly then considered he was committed without much left behind. Vida called.
Vida: Q♦J♠
Carrafiello: A♦K♦
Board: T♦T♠3♣5♠8♣
Vida went unimproved on the runout and was eliminated by Carrafiello's ace-king high. 52 players remain.
