Giarrusso Races For Tournament Life

Chad Holloway

Stefano Giarrusso was all in preflop for 109,100 and up against Alessandro Pennisi.

Showdown

Giarrusso:

Pennisi:

It was a coinflip and Giarrusso seemed a bit on edge. That uneasiness turned to disappointment when the flop fell and paired Pennisi, while the turn and river sent Giarrusso to the rail.

"Bye-bye," was all a dejected Giarrusso could say as he collected his things and made his exit.

Loth Pushes Back

Chad Holloway

The play has slowed considerably now that we're near the money bubble.

In a recent hand, Richard Loth opened for 9,500 from middle position and was met with a three-bet to 24,500 from Yevgeniy Timoshenko in the small blind. Loth made the call and then watched his opponent lead out for 20,000 on the . Loth thought for a moment, put together some chips, and then came out with a raise to 45,000. Timoshenko eyed up his opponent and then flicked his cards to the muck.

Massage Out the Tilt

MarcC

Roberto Romanello might as well take his top off as the masseuse working on his back virtually has it off anyway.

The Brit needs a massage to help calm him down after he lost a big pot in a battle-of-the-blinds versus Kent Roed. Romanello's pocket sevens couldn't hold against the Norwegian's jack-ten.
