Third Time Lucky For Portaro

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

The action started with Bruno Portaro opening to 450 from under the gun and getting called by Ia Rimamaaki in the cut off and Danny Leaoasavaii in the blinds.

The flop came down {q-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and Leaoasavaii checked. Rimamaaki bet out 1,100 which only interested Portaro as Leaoasavaii got out of the way.

Both players then checked the {k-Clubs} on the turn before the {5-Diamonds} completed the board. Portaro led out for 2,500 which sent Rimamaaki into the tank. A minute passed before he splashed out a raise to 7,600. Portaro then himself went into the tank before eventually picking up his entire stack and placing it out in front of him signifying he was all in.

The total was 14,725 which was called moments later by Rimamaaki. Portaro then tabled his {a-Clubs}{a-Spades} for the nut full house. Rimamaaki then rolled over his {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for the lesser full house as he watched in disappointment as the pot was pushed over to Portaro.

After that hand Portaro moves up to 33,350 in chips. Rimamaaki drops down to 11,000 in chips.
