Dalessio Soars As Giordano Hits the Rail

Connor Richards

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Ferdinando Dalessio was seen winning a big pot that had Alessandro Giordano hitting the rail and Lucas Scafini losing most of his stack.

The board of A♠4♥Q♥Q♦10♣ had run out and Dalessio's A♣K♠ was good against the J♥Jx of Scafini, while Giordano's hand had already been mucked. Dalessio doubled his stack of 3,000,000 and then some as Scafini was left with around 600,000.

Lucas Scafini	600,000 284,000	284,000

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Enrico Mosca opened to 50,000 first-to-act and was called by Avihai Smadga from directly behind, Karl Urbin in the small blind, and Miroslav Alilovic in the big blind.

All four players checked on the A♣4♣10♣ flop and then Urbin led out for 100,000 on the 9♦ turn. Only Smadga called.

The J♣ river brought four cards to a flush and both players checked down. Urbin showed 6♠6♣ for a flush and Smadga mucked — conceding the pot to Urbin.

Avihai Smadga	2,300,000 1,317,000	1,317,000

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Arthur Thiriart open-jammed a stack of 95,000 from under the gun and Andreia-Elena Coman called in the small blind, while the big blind also called.

Coman led out for 100,000 on the flop of 5♥A♣5♣ and the big blind folded before the cards were flipped.

Arthur Thiriart: A♥3♣
Andreia-Elena Coman: A♦Q♠

Thiriart was dominated and there would be no chop as the board finished out 9♠Q♥ to mark his elimination.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
