Speranzoni Hits the Rail Early On

Georgios Tavoularis

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

The action was picked up on a flop of 8♠4♠9♥ with 15,000 in the middle when Alberto Speranzoni announced all in. Jari-Pekka Juhola folded, and Navid Saberin snap-called.

Alberto Speranzoni: KxKx All in
Navid Saberin: JxJx

Speranzoni was in excellent shape to double up in the second level of the tournament, but the runout was unfortunate for him as the dealer revealed the 10♣ on the turn and the 7♥ on the river, completing a straight for Saberin, who now holds a double starting stack.

Evangelos Bechrakis opened the action from middle position to 1,600, and both Emmanuel Rouvet and Barny Boatman called. Lukas Lukac then put out a three-bet of 5,000 from the small blind, and all of his opponents called.

The flop came 2♣J♠9♥, and action was checked to Rouvet, who announced all in for 12,000. Boatman moved all in as well for 18,000, and Lukac folded. Bechrakis took his time but eventually made the call.
