Engel's Bid For Back-To-Back Final Tables Hits A Roadblock
Maurizio Braco opened for 1,200 under the gun and found callers in Antony Lezzi and Ari Engel in the cutoff and big blind respectively. When the flop fell 
, Engel checked, Braco bet 2,100, and Lezzi called. Engel then woke up with a check-raise to 7,275, only Lezzi called, and the 
turned.
This time Engel, who final tabled this event last year, slowed down with a check, but he still called a bet of 7,000 from Lezzi, who left himself just 5,700 behind. Both players then checked the 
river and Lezzi tabled 
for a set. Engel double checked his cards and then sent them to the muck.
