Pitruzzella Builds Further With Nines
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Angelo Fiorentino squeezed a three-bet to 2,300 into four players from the big blind. Button Luca Pitruzzella was the only caller, and the pair headed to a flop of 4♠2♥2♦.
Fiorentino continued for 2,200, which Pitruzzella quickly called. Pitruzzella had a more difficult decision on the 8♥ turn, taking a minute or so before calling Fiorentino's bet of 5,000.
The 5♦ river was checked to showdown. Fiorentino tabled A♦Q♣ for ace-high. Pitruzzella won the pot with his 9♥9♦ as he neared two starting stacks in chips.
