Lessa Drills River to Survive
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Heads up to the 10♠7♥8♣ flop, Wellington Lessa Guedes checked from the small blind to Vito Recchimurzo in the hijack. Recchimurzo bet 3,500, which Lessa raised to 24,400 for an all-in wager.
Recchimurzo took some time, then called, putting his opponent at risk.
Wellington Lessa Guedes: Q♦9♦
Vito Recchimurzo: 10♦3♦
Recchimurzo's top pair remained in the lead on the 2♥ turn, but Lessa found a straight on the J♦ river to double up.
