Lopez Stacks Niciforo

[user339870]

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Alejandro Lopez was in middle position, had already committed 15,500 chips, and was facing a decision for a total of 67,500 from Mario Niciforo who had moved all-in from early position. After a few moments of consideration, Lopez called to put Niciforo at risk.

Lopez:
Niciforo:

Niciforo had the preflop advantage but found himself racing for his tournament life and needed his pocket pair to hold in order to double up. The board ran out to pair Lopez's ace, so he took the pot to send Niciforo to the rail.
