Bsiri and Festa Soar to Large Stacks
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
On the river of a K♣Q♥9♠2♠7♦ river, Panayiotis Giannakopoulos checked and then faced a bet of 100,000 by Mattia Festa. He spread all of his time banks out in front and very reluctantly called to then muck versus A♦K♦.
In the meanwhile on table three there was a three-way all-in. Daniel van der Berg had reraised to 10,000 preflop and Praful Patwa then jammed. Raphael Bsiri reraised to more than 200,000 and van der Berg called all-in behind.
Praful Patwa: J♠10♣
Daniel van der Berg: A♦Q♥
Raphael Bsiri: A♣K♣
"Don't worry, there will be a ten on the turn," Bsiri told Patwa but the ten already came on the 10♦5♣3♦ flop. The K♠ turn put Bsiri back into the lead and the 2♥ river was a blank to send two to the rail.
