Pizza Takes a Slice out of Rellinger

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Mike Rellinger opened to 6,000 from late position and watched as Lew Pizza three-bet jammed for 49,500 in the small blind. Joseph Elia went in the tank in the big blind but eventually found a fold. The action folded back to Rellinger.

"Want me to call, Lew," asked Rellinger.

"Your chips, man," replied Pizza.

Rellinger would end up making the call to put Pizza at risk.

Lew Pizza: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Mike Rellinger: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Pizza was able to fade the river to score the double up.
