Hot Start for Di Nicola
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Ermanno Di Nicola opened to 600 from the button, and Juha Helppi defended from the big blind.
The flop came A♥J♦2♣ and Helppi check-called a 500 bet from Di Nicola. The two players then checked down the 9♠ turn and 6♥ river.
Helppi showed K♠Q♣ for king-high and a missed gutshot. Di Nicola tabled K♣9♣ for third pair to win the pot, adding more chips to his stack, which is already more than double what he started with.
