Shaar Scoops a Huge Pot Against Di Giacomo
Level 25
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Claudio Di Giacomo opened preflop and Elad Shaar called before Hristiyan Banov three-bet from the small blind to 245,000. Both Di Giocomo and Shaar called.
On the 2?7?Q? flop, Banov checked and Di Giacomo bet 580,000. Shaar called off his stack of 445,000, and Banov folded.
Elad Shaar: K?Q?J?10? 
Claudio Di Giacomo: A?J?9?9?
Di Giacomo would hold a monstrous chip lead if he could win this hand but the runout didn't go in his favor as the the K? turn and 7? river gave Shaar a better two pair and heaps of chips.
