Rizov Raises Politio; Braunhofer Busts to Mestre
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Laurent Polito open-raised from the cutoff and called button Miroslav Rizov's subsequent three-bet to 65,000. Rizov continued for 45,000 on the 2♥7♦5♣ flop, seeing his opponent check-call.
The 7♣ turn then checked through to the Q♣ river, where Polito flicked in a small bet of 25,000. Rizov announced a sizable raise to 225,000, which Polito called after some thought.
Rizov revealed K♣2♣ for a flush, and Polito nodded his head in acknowledgement before mucking his cards in defeat.
Just prior, Raul Mestre had eliminated Manuel Braunhofer at another table.
