Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

We stumbled upon the action preflop with Paul Balzano, who had 4,400 out in front of him, debating what to do. Bernardo Picca had made it 20,000 to go from the cutoff and eventually Balzano called.

When the flop fell , Balzano checked and Picca moved all in. Balzano had 29,400 back and didn't seem thrilled with the spot. He called off nonetheless.

Balzano:
Picca:

Balzano had flopped top pair with top kicker but was still behind the overpair of Picca. Neither the turn nor river helped Balzano and he headed for the exit.
