Cesare Lafrancone opened to 1,000 in middle position, and Marco Natalino called as next to act. Bartosz Marianowski came along in the hijack, and Tamas Poernye did the same on the button, HUNTER 1 was the last to stick in a call from the big blind, and checked the 7♦4♣Q♦ flop.
Lafrancone checked behind before Natalino bet 2,100. Marianowski and Lafrancone were the only callers to the 3♥ turn. Lafrancone and Natalino tapped the table, and Marianowski slid out 3,700 chips.
Both opponents called, and action checked around on the K♣ river. Lafrancone showed 5♦3♦, while Natalino tabled Q♣J♣. Marianowski then flipped over A♦Q♠ for a pair of queens with an ace kicker to claim the early pot.
