Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Vladimir Lipnitskii, under the gun, opened the action with a raise to 160,000. Friedrich Raez, in the cutoff, and Claudio Di Giacomo, in the big blind, both called, setting the stage for a three-way pot.
The flop came down A♥J♣A♦, and Lipnitskii continued with a 150,000 bet. Only Di Giacomo stuck around, opting for a check-call.
The turn brought the 8♣, and after Di Giacomo checked again, Lipnitskii fired 400,000 into the pot. Di Giacomo called once more, maintaining his composure.
On the 9♠ river, Di Giacomo checked again, and this time, Lipnitskii checked back. When Di Giacomo revealed A♣3♦ for trips, Lipnitskii's cards hit the muck as he surrendered the pot, giving Di Giacomo a well-earned win.
