"August $150,000" (Flight 1A): Scarola Busts, Tersigni Has Massive Chip Lead With One Level To Plauy

"August $150,000 GTD"
$360 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
Level 15 (Blinds 1,500/3,000/500)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 50
Flight 1A Players Remaining: 8

Fausto Tersigni (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)

With just over ten big blinds, and action folding to Kevin Scarola, he would shove for 34,600.  Player would fold behind, leaving just the blinds to decide.  After asking for a count, Fausto Tersigni would make the call (small blind), with Richard Leger also coming along from the big (after a solid two minutes of thought).  The two players would check down the runout of 2 3 7 7♠ 5♠, with the dealer announcing that he needed to see all three hands. 

Tersigni quickly rolled over his A Q, with Scarola tabling 8♣ 4♣ as he collected his things.  Leger showed K J, which meant that Tersigni's ace-high would be awarded the pot (worth over 130,000).  Fausto now holds an overwhelming chip lead with eight players remaining, sitting with 300,000.
