It was a worthy performance for the only American making the final table of the €350 Americas Cup, a back and forth battle three-handed that made it to the enormous 200,000/400,000 blind level. When Alessandro Pichierri jammed small blind to big (setting him in for 1,700,000) with Ks 6s, he made a stand with Qd Jc.
The runout: Ac 9s 2h 3c 3h.
Alessandro now has 5,500,000 to Mulhern’s 3,500,000.
