Genovesi Can't Stop Playing Pots

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Yorane Kerignard opened to 50,000 on the button and Jackson Genovesi called. The loose Itlalian then check-called a 42,000 bet on the {k-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop but when the {k-Spades} landed on the turn Genovesi bet 66,000 and Kerignard folded.

The very next hand Genovesi bet 26,000 on the {6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop then called when Keirgnard raised to 66,000. Both players checked the {6-Hearts} turn but when the {k-Diamonds} fell on the river Genovesi lead out for 144,000 and Kerignard made the call.

"Ace-king," said Genovesi and he turned over {A-Hearts}{k-Hearts}. Kerignard simply mucked.

The hand after that Genovesi made it 50,000 to play from the button and Kerignard made the call. The {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop was greeted with a check from Kerignard, a 67,000 bet from Genovesi and a call from Kerignard. The {2-Diamonds} was checked by both players but when the {3-Diamonds} appeared on the turn Kerignard bet 111,000 and Genovesi folded; albeit after much deliberation.

"I had king high," informed Genovesi before showing either the {k-Spades} or {k-Clubs}, "sometimes it is hard to fold king-high!"
