Anthony Astarita

Taking a walk around the room, we found Anthony Astarita in rough shape with his last bit of chips. He had his short stack in the middle with As7s against AhJc and needing a lot of help.

The Qd8s4h flop did nothing for him and he stood up from his seat after the 3c turn. The 7h river paired his seven and he sat right back down to stack up to ~30,000.

Astarita was a regular in the poker room for a few years then really became known when he captured the WPTDeepStacks Tampa title in 2016 for a $131K score.
