Ermanno Di Nicola opened to 60,000 from middle position, and was faced with a three-bet to 145,000 from Mehdi Rebai in the cutoff. Action folded back to Di Nicola, who called.
On the Q♣Q♦3♣ flop, Di Nicola check-raised to 115,000 in the face of a bet of 35,000 from Rebai, who called.
The 5♦ hit on the turn, and Di Nicola fired out a bet of 240,000. Rebai, who had around 805,000 behind, took some time to think, and made the call, saying "You always make me think, eh".
The J♠ river completed the board, and Di Nicola jammed with the covering stack. Rebai sighed, shook his head, and said "You always have it eh, this is fucking crazy".
Rebai went into the tank for a good two minutes, talking to himself, and eventually open-folded K♣K♠, to gasps from the table.
"You always have it" repeated Rebai. "You want to see one?" said Di Nicola, and Rebai nodded. Di Nicola turned over 3♦, and Rebai chuckled and said "House eh, you always have it."
