Bergamini Lands the First Blow, Rizzo Finishes It Off
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Catching the tail end of a hand, Flavia Bergamini was being awarded a full double up with her A♠A♥ on a board of A♦9♦2♦8♥10♣. Her opponent also flopped a set with 9♠9♣ but was forced to pass over a double up.
On the next hand, that player pushed all in for his last 17,000 chips from under the gun which got a couple of players to contemplate before folding. However, Leonardo Rizzo was in the big blind and instantly flicked in a chip to call.
Opponent: K♦7♥
Leonardo Rizzo: 6♠4♣
The flop came 9♣8♥7♦ and Rizzo managed to pick up a straight draw with his napkins. The 9♠ paired the board on the turn but the 5♥ on the river gave Rizzo a straight to eliminate his opponent.
