Team Kuo/Cucchiara Sent To The Rail In Third Place

Ming Ken Thoo raised to 60,000 from the button only for Frankie Cucchiara to three-bet from the small blind to 250,000. Thoo made the call.

The flop came A 8 2 and Cucchiara continued for 160,000. Thoo tanked for a while and then pumped it up to 600,000.

Cucchiara went deep into the tank and used both his time banks. Just as the clock was about to expire he announce that he was all in. Thoo thought briefly before he made the call and had Cucchiara covered.

Frankie Cucchiara: 9 8

Ming Ken Thoo: A 8

Cucchiara needed some help to keep him and partner Natural8 Ambassador Kitty Kuo's team alive. None came on the T turn and even though he hit two pair on the 9 river it was not enough and Team Kuo/Cucchiara were sent to the rail in third spot.
