A Personal Vendetta

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Cameron Bartolotta
Cameron Bartolotta

The player under the gun made it 825 and perennial contender Rick Block made the call behind, swearing a personal vendetta against Cameron Bartolotta and claiming he never folds when it's his big blind.

It folded to Goran Velimirovic in the small blind and he called. Bartolotta came along for the ride in the big. Bartolotta checked the {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop and UTG continued for 1,800. Block relented, cursing Bartolotta's name, but Velimirovic called.

Bartolotta came back with a check-raise, making it 4,500 and only Velimirovic called. Velimirovic checked the {2-Spades} turned and Bartolotta jammed in for 9,200 total. Velimirovic looked him up with the {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flush draw, but Bartolotta had the goods. His {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} set held after a {7-Diamonds} river.
