Zaffagnini's Ladies Help Him Chip Up

Tim Baker

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Umberto Zaffagnini raised to 250,000 from early position, and only Julian Pineda Lozano called from the big blind.

A flop of A♠8♠8♦ came down and Lozano checked the action over to Zaffagnini, who tossed out a min-bet of 100,000. Lozano quickly called.

The 5♣ came on the turn and Lozano check-called a bet of 230,000 by Zaffagnini.

Both players checked the 4♠ river, and Lozano's 9♦9♣ was second best to the Q♥Q♦ of Zaffagnini.
