Full Over Full for Florio

Maxime Taldir

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a board of 9♥9♦A♦2♥Q♥ with approximately 28,000 in the pot, Krisztian Kis under the gun bet 26,500, but saw Cesare Florio on the button raise to 65,000.

Kis seemed to had no choice but to call, so he did with A♥10♥ for the nut flush. But he was quite surprise to discover that Florio had Q♣9♣ for a full house hit on the river.

Thanks to this pot, Florio has now more than 150,000 chips, while Kis only has 33,000 chips left.

Giulio Spampinato: A♥5♦

On a board of 6♦2♠4♦7♠, Spampinato didn't find the card he needed to complete his straight draw on the Q♥ river, so Impollonia doubled up.

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Claudio Mariani shoved for 15,000 from under the gun, and he was called by a player in middle position. Enrico Grella then raised all-in for 72,100, and made the third player fold.

Claudio Mariani: A♠8♣ All in
Enrico Grella: K♥K♣

Mariani was happy to see an ace on the flop. But his smile quickly disappeared as it was followed by a king on A♦K♦6♠. After the turn 10♣, the 6♣ gave a full house to Grella, and definitely sent Mariani to the rail.
