Ufano Not Scared Away by Uguccioni's Flop Raise

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Carl Dit Scrudil bet 7,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 710J and Michael Uguccioni raised to 20,000 in the small blind. Jorge Ufano called, while Dit Scrudil got out of the way.

The turn was the 5 and Uguccioni checked over to Fano, who bet 16,500. Uguccioni called and the A fell on the river.

Ufano then bet 30,000 and Uguccinoi tanked for so long that the clock had to be called. Uguccioni then turned over AJ and tossed it into the muck as Ufano took the pot without showdown.

"I had the same hand," Dit Scrudil said.
