Rizzo Regains Chip Lead, Aziz Eliminated
Level 19
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
After a raise to 80,000 from early position, Marcelo Aziz called from the hijack, followed by Ramiro Araujo on the button and Leonardo Rizzo in the small blind.
The dealer spread a 9♦6♠4♣ flop, and Rizzo checked, first to act. The original raiser continued for 195,000, which Aziz called, before Araujo folded. Rizzo then responded with a check-raise all-in, having both his opponents covered. The original raiser folded, but, after using a time extension, Aziz called.
Marcelo Aziz: 10♠10♦
Leonardo Rizzo: 4♥4♦
The 3♣ turn and K♥ river completed the board, and the whole room knew who had won the pot when Rizzo's trademark "Pow! Pow! Pow!" celebration reverberated around the room.
