Level 13
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Alexis Lucarini opened to 8,000 from middle position and was called by Antonio Guerrero and Nicolas Giannotti from the button and big blind respectively.
Action checked to Guerrero on the 
flop, he bet 13,000 and only Giannotti called.
The 
turn checked through to the 
river and Giannotti bet 22,000. Guerrero paused for a moment and then called.
Giannotti turned over the 
while Guerrero held the 
. The entire table gasped as Giannotti won the hand with ten-high.
One player exclaimed "sick value bet!"
Guerrero explained to the table he put his opponent on a seven or worse pocket pair and that his eight-high would be the best play.
