Di Cicco Defends, Draws Out

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Alexander Dovzhenko opened for 16,000 from the cutoff seat, then Massimo Di Cicco called from the button. The flop came {K-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, and when Dovzhenko checked, Di Cicco pushed all in with his remaining 102,000.

Dovzhenko studied for a while, nodding as he did as if wordlessly talking himself into calling. Then at last he did push the needed chips forward, tabling {J-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for middle pair of sixes. He then saw he was ahead as Di Cicco had {8-Spades}{7-Spades} for an open-ended straight draw.

The turn brought the {2-Diamonds}, and Dovzhenko's hand was still best. But the river brought the {9-Diamonds} and a "yeahhh!" from the Italian, giving him the winning straight.

Dovzhenko smiled in response, still nodding, and Di Cicco began to chuckle. "Jack-six!" he said to the Russian in English. "You steal from me… not possible!"
