Calderaro Cracks Aces to Triples Up
Blinds: 75/150
Ante: 25
With James Calderaro all in for about 8,000 and another player all in for less, Lily Kiletto tanked for a bit before she called with a covering stack holding 
. She was racing with Calderaro’s 
, but both were in bad shape against the third player’s 
.
The flop fell 
, giving Calderaro some hope with a pair of kings and giving Kiletto a straight draw. The 
turn changed nothing, but the 
river fell to give Calderaro a full house to win the pot and triple up. Calderaro and Kiletto (who happen to be dating), got a good laugh from the outcome of the hand.
James Calderaro – 21,000
Lily Kiletto – 17,000
