Di Nicola, Markov Play Friendly

Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Day 1b chip leader Ermanno Di Nicola raised to 5,000 from early position and received three callers, including Anton Markov in the small blind.

"Friendly game," Di Nicola said heading to the {k-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades} flop. He continued for 6,000, and only Markov called.

Both players checked the {4-Clubs} turn before the {10-Clubs} fell on the river. Markov checked once again.

"Runner-runner flush," tablemate Nina Krasilnikova asked Di Nicola.

"Two pair," Di Nicola responded, checking behind and turning over two threes. Markov showed {k-}{9-} for trips to take the pot.
