Cammisuli Triples Up

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Flaviano Cammisuli shoved from the middle position for 8,800 and Abz Lad three-bet to 16,100 from the cutoff. Angelo Patane four-bet shoved in the big blind and Lad asked the dealer for a count. He confirmed Patane had 58,600 in total behind. Lad dived into the tank for a while but opted to fold.

Flaviano Cammisuli: {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Angelo Patane: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran out {6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for Cammisuli to turn top pair and improve to two pair to triple up.

Lad nodded throughout the runout of the board and another player asked him what he had. Lad said he had jacks.

Chopped Pot for Rigano and Kaminek

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Robert Pekel limped in from under the gun and Stefano Maresco raised to 3,000 from the middle position. Jakub Kaminek called on the button and so did Carmelo Rigano.

They all checked through the {5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{k-Hearts} on the flop and the {4-Spades} on the turn to the {4-Hearts} on the river. Rigano bet 6,200 and only Kaminek made the call. Rigano tabled {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for two pair, Kaminek quickly flipped over {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for the same exact hand to chop the pot.

"What the fuck..." Pekel commented and the whole table laughed.
