: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Davide Marchi raised from the hijack and Gilles Simon called from the big blind.
Simon check-called bets from Marchi on all three streets through the 3♦A♥J♦K♦8♠ runout. The first was for 3,500 on the flop, followed by 10,000 on the turn and finally 28,000 on the river.
Marchi turned over 8♦8♣ for a rivered set, much to the surprise of Simon, who claimed he had two pair.
As Marchi was pulling in the pot, Parker Talbot commented.
"That river and he only bet 28?" Talbot asked Simon.
Simon nodded, prompting Talbot to deliver his opinion: "That's an Italian river bet right there."
