Luca Pagano

Luca Pagano is loving life right now. He just took care of Balazs Botond to approach a million chips.

The Team PokerStars Pro raised to 27,000 from the cut-off before Botond three-bet to 64,000 from the small blind. Pagano paused before he set his opponent in for the 190,000 or so he had back. Botond made a quick call to set up a showdown.

Pagano: {q-Diamonds} {q-Spades}
Botond: {a-Spades} {j-Clubs}

The board ran {10-Clubs} {2-Spades} {8-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} .

The Italian had a sweat from turn to river but his hand held up.
