Zaffagnini Snaps Off Ionita on the River
Level 34
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Sebastian Ionita limped in from the small blind before Umberto Zaffagnini raised to 750,000 in the big blind. Ionita called and they saw a flop of A♦10♦10♠.
Zaffagnini then bet 300,000 and Ionita called. Both players checked the 7♣ turn.
The river was the 5♥ and Ionita bet 1,800,000. Zaffagnini instantly tossed in a chip to signify a call, and Ionita showed A♣4♦ for two pair. Zaffagnini, though, turned over A♠8♠ and won the pot with his eight-kicker to move into the chip lead.
