Diamonds are Agrello's Best Friend
. The blinds checked, and Salim Ghozali led out with an overbet of 11,000. In position, Maurizio Agrello made the call, the small blind folded, and Francesco Cirianni went into the tank as the last player to act. It would be another two or three minutes before the short-stacked Cirianni announced an all in for just over 30,000 total. Ghozali didn't take long to call, and Agrello came right along as well to put an increasingly large pot in the middle of the table.The turn came the scary
, and Ghozali checked. Agrello quickly announced an all in, and Ghozali slammed his cards into the muck. Cirianni was now at risk against Agrello, and he would soon see that he was drawing dead:Cirianni:

The river is irrelevant (the

The Bout is on the Other Foot
flop, which they both checked. They saw a 
turn and Boutboul checked again; this time Musini bet 8,500 leaving himself 30,000 behind, and Boutboul called.They saw a
river and Boutboul checked again. This was rather a sneaky check as it turns out, as once Musini had checked behind Boutboul turned over for a rivered straight. Musini mucked, and Boutboul crept up to 170,000.

Rotach:

Neither player had a diamond and the aces held up, doubling Ghozali to 90,000. Rotach tried to leave but he wasn't quite covered. He was called back to the table and is now perched precariously on 9,000.
Doc Gets Second Opinion
Joining the table as Thomas Kremser was making a ruling. It appeared Gerardo Ghiura had moved all-in from the button and Sands had flipped
while saying call. The dealer who did not speak much English seemed to be unsure if Sands had said, "Call" or "Fold." At least one player backed Sands up but most weren't sure or paying attention at the time.Sands was adamant he had called but Gerardo Ghiura said, "No. No. You said, 'Fold!'"
It would seem odd that the American would snap-fold, face-up no less, a hand as strong as
against a short-stack's button shove.Thomas Kremser declared, against Ghiura's protestations that "Call" can often sound like "Fold" especially to someone who does not have English as their first language. Kremser allowed Sands' call and Ghiura was forced to show
.The decision might have fallen in Sands' favour but the board did not as it came
allowing Ghiura to double up to about 80,000.David Sands looked mightily annoyed by the whole chapter.
