Isaia & Candio Blinded by the Lux
There is an interesting trio of exceptional players grouped together on table 36. Alessio Isaia has the number 8 seat, Filippo Candio the number 9 seat and Maksim Kolosov the number 10 seat. Here is a hand featuring the two Italians:
Isaia, sporting a strange new-looking hairstyle (dyed half blond-half purple!), raised to 500 and Candio three-bet to 1,100. The action folded around to Robert Lux who was sat in the small blind and he couldn't wait to put his chips into the middle when he made a swift four-bet of 3,600.
Isaia was spinning a chip in his hand when he motioned for Lux to move aside so he could see his stack. Lux dutifully obliged and Isaia folded. Next up was Candio and he made the call.
Flop:
Lux was again very quick in betting and it was 4,200. In an identical performance Candio motioned for Lux to move out of the way, he eyed up his stack, and then folded his hand.
