Pobirci Gets Thin Value Out of Casino

Frank Visser

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Salvatore Russo raised to 800 in early position. Daniele Casino called in the cutoff before small blind Victor Pobirci made it 3,000 to go.

Russo made a quick fold, but Casino put in a call to the 4♥4♠Q♦ flop. Pobirci continued for 2,500, and Casino called. The J♥ turn went check-check for the 6♥ to appear on the river.

Pobirci pondered a while as he assembled a bet of 7,500. Casino quickly tossed in calling chips but mucked his cards once Pobirci tabled A♣J♦ for jacks and sixes.

Salvatore Russo	90,000

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Camillo Elia had raised in middle position when he was met with a three-bet to 2,500 from Simone Avancini in the cutoff. Big blind Marco Marinacci then put in a four-bet to 6,500, which both Elia and Avancini called.

The flop fell J♥7♥6♠ and was checked to Avancini. He fired a bet of 6,500, getting a call from Marinacci and a fold from Elia.

Avancini sized up to 11,000 on the 2♠ turn, but this time Marinacci check-raised all-in for 25,100. Avancini asked for a count but surrendered his cards not long thereafter, granting the big pot to Marinacci.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Claudio Patronaggio and Simone Maglianella had collected 7,000 preflop when they saw a flop of A♦8♥5♥. Patronaggio checked to Maglianella, who put his opponent all-in for 8,500.

Patronaggio weighed his options for a while but could not find a fold, sticking in his stack.

Claudio Patronaggio: 7♥7♣ All in
Simone Maglianella: A♥J♦

The 10♥ turn did not help Patronaggio as Maglianella had the higher heart, and the J♣ river upgraded Maglianella to two pair, eliminating Patronaggio with his sevens.

Vasyl Laba and Dmytro Yushevych were battling over a pot of 8,500 on a flop of 7♣5♣8♣. Laba checked from the small blind, after which Yushevych fired a bet of 3,200.

Laba called to the 9♣ turn, where he check-called Yushevych's bet of 6,000. Both players then checked the A♥ river, with Laba showing down 6♦5♦ for a straight.

Yushevych quickly mucked his cards as Laba raked in another pot and neared two starting stacks in chips.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Arriving on a turn of J♥4♦9♣6♠, Sergio Parrinello checked from the small blind to Selvedin Besic in the early position, who fired a pot-sized bet of 5,000.

Simone Maglianella called in the cutoff before Parrinello committed his stack of 18,000 to the middle. Besic rejammed for 30,000, and Maglianella called off to put both opponents at risk.

Sergio Parrinello: J♣9♠ All in
Selvedin Besic: 7♦5♥ All in
Simone Maglianella: 6♥4♥

The 10♣ river was of no help to anyone. Parrinello won the main pot with jacks and nines, while Maglianella scooped up the rest of Besic's stack with sixes and fours.
