Cuomo Has a Read on Neves
Action folded to Daniele Cuomo who raised to 1,050,000 in the small blind. Bernardo Neves then three-bet to 2,800,000 in the big blind, and Cuomo called.
The flop came K♣7♣9♠ and Neves continued for 2,000,000. Cuomo then slid forward a tower of white 500,000 chips to put Neves all in, and Neves quickly folded. Cuomo showed Q♠J♠ as he took the pot.
"How do you know?" Ben Zech asked.
"I know him," Cuomo replied.
The next hand, Kazuhiko Yotsushika raised to 1,000,000 in the hijack and picked up calls from Cuomo on the button and Mengshi Tian in the big blind.
Yotsushika bet 1,500,000 on the J♥6♣5♣ flop and only Tian called. Both players checked the 6♠ turn, and Tian led out for 2,800,000 on the 9♠ river. Yotsushika called and Tian showed K♥J♥ to win the last pot before break.
