Taranto Nearly Closes the Gap
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Edwin Dela Cruz limped with the 9♠2♦ and Alessandro Taranto checked his option with the Q♦7♦.
The K♣9♦8♠ flop was checked by the Italian, who then check-raised to 380,000. Dela Cruz called but gave up the pot on the J♠ turn when Taranto bet. That reduced the lead of the local hero to a mere eight big blinds.
