Peter Fianu Fortunate After Four-High Shove
Walking back to the PokerNews reporting desk, we spotted a hand going down that we just had to sweat. Three players, including Peter Fianu, had their whole stacks pushed forward before the flop and it was time to flip up the cards.
Showdown:
Fianu:
Opponent # 1:
Opponent # 2:
All of the players had above average chip stacks at the time and the player holding four-high must have been on a bluff. Unfortunately for him, he ran into a made pair and a suited big slick, and his move was not meant to pan out.
The final board rolled out and despite making a four-card straight flush, opponent # 2 had flushed his chips away. Fianu's pair of kings was good enough for the triple-up and he continued play, no doubt hoping to find more players willing to risk it all with four-deuce.
