D'Alessio's Pocket Pair Holds
Level 42
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Ferdinando D'Alessio opened to 5,000,000 with 8♣8♦, with Lucien Cohen calling on the button holding A♠8♠.
Cohen checked the 6♣9♦10♦ flop before calling a continuation-bet of 4,000,000 from D'Alessio.
The 10♥ turn saw the action slow down with both players checking to the 6♥ river. Another round of checks saw D'Alessio table his pocket pair, good enough to take down the pot.
