Gisolfi Fires With Baby Pair

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Francesco Gisolfi made the minimum raise to 200,000 in middle position. John Barker then made it 550,000 to go in the cutoff, and Gisolfi called when the action had folded back to him.

The duo checked through the 779 flop, prompting Gisolfi to bet 125,000 on the Q turn. Barker quickly called, and did so too when Gisolfi put in 150,000 on the 6 river.

Gisolfi tabled 44, but it was no good against the AQ of Barker, who took down the pot to climb above the average stack.
