Lococo Pays It Off

Luigi D'Alterio opened from the cutoff to 1,600 and Alejandro Lococo three-bet to 5,100. Pierre Zerbib was in the small blind and cold-called before D'Alterio followed that up with a call of his own.

The trio saw a Q♦A♦4♦ flop and the action checked to Lococo, who put another T-5,000 chip in the middle. Zerbib called once more, but D'Alterio did not like the diamonds and got out of the way.

The 4♥ turn checked around before Zerbib put his remaining 16,600 chips in the middle on the 8♣ river. Lococo thought the situation over for a good bit before throwing in a single chip for a call.

Zerbib showed down K♦Q♠ for a thin value bet and it worked out as his second pair beat the J♦J♣ of Lococo.
