Cortellazzi Goes Full Candio

Remko Rinkema

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Everyone remembers Italian player Filippo Candio who finished fourth in the 2010 WSOP Main Event for just over three-million dollars, and his epic celebrations.

Candio wore his heart on his sleeve during his Main Event run, and Andrea Cortellazzi just showed us something similar when he knocked out Domantas Klimciauskas.

Cortellazzi, who looked as though he was at risk, had his opponent covered by a few big blinds, when the cards were turned face up after they got all the money in preflop.

Klimciauskas:
Cortellazzi:

The board ran out and Cortellazzi jumped up out of his seat and cheered loudly. The Italian player cheered a few more times before sitting down, while Klimciauskas left the tournament room empty handed.

Espen Solaas opened for 10,000 from late position only to face a three-bet from Sonny Franco in the small blind. Solaas four-bet all in for roughly 100,000, and Franco made the call.

Franco:

Solaas was in bad shape running fives into an overpair, and he would find no salvation as the board ran out a useless .

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

In two pots Bryan Paris just took out Lithuanian Laurnyas Levinskas, and Paris explained to us what happened.

First, Levinskas raised under the gun plus one to 6,000 and Paris defended his big blind with pocket sixes. The flop came down with two clubs and Paris check-called 7,000.

On the turn a six hit, and Paris lead out for 16,000, which was called by Levinskas. The river was a king, and Paris lead for another 44,000. Levinskas called, and Paris took down the pot with a set of sixes.

Shortly thereafter Paris raised under the gun plus one and Levinskas moved all in for his last six big blinds. Paris called with and beat the Lithuanian's on .
