Adinolfo Correctly Folds Kings

Tim Baker

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

With roughly 3,800 in the middle the board read Q♦2♥7♣. Alessandro Adinolfo bet 2,500 from middle position and Vincenzo Scarpitti called from the blinds.

The action checked though on the Q♣ turn for the J♣ to come on the river. Scarpitti led out for 5,000 and Adinolfo showed KxKx as he folded. Scarpitti was kind enough to flip over the Q♠ for trip queens as he dragged in the pot.

Carmona checked upon seeing the dealer put out the 3♣ on the turn. Bashlawi bet 7,000 which was more than the amount of chips Carmona had left. Carmona folded and forfeited the pot to Bashlawi.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action was caught on the turn with three players looking at the 9♦6♠4♦7♥ board.

Dario Talio checked in the small blind and Jordan Santos bet 2,600 into a pot of around 5,300 from early position. Haraldur Petursson moved all in for around 12,000 from middle position, which prompted Talio to rejam for around 25,000. Santos agonized over his options before finding a fold.

Haraldur Petursson: Q♥9♥ All in
Dario Talio: 10♥8♦

Talio had the nuts with a ten-high straight, leaving Petursson drawing dead. The 8x completed the board, and Petursson headed to the reentry desk.

The two players saw a flop of 5♠3♠8♦ which Nasrollahzadeh checked. Maiorano put out a continuation-bet of 600 and this got a fold from Nasrollahzadeh. Maiorano turned over A♦A♥ as he pulled in the small pot.
