Rollercoaster for Rizzo

Adam Lamers

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

After taking an early chip lead on Day 1b, Leonardo Rizzo slipped back in the counts momentarily. However, he recently chipped back up after an outburst at the table.

Three players headed to the flop of A♥J♠2♣ with Alexandre Couto already all in for 9,500. After seeing the flop, Rizzo also announced all in and the button folded.

Alexandre Couto: A♠8♦ All in
Leonardo Rizzo: J♣10♣

Both players flopped a pair but it was Couto currently holding the lead. That changed on the 10♠ turn as Rizzo made two pair. The 10♦ on the river improved him to a full house in what he called a "perfect hand".

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Flavio Gouveia raised it up on the button and Marcelo Torii called from the big blind. The flop came 7♥6♦4♠ and Torii checked to Gouveia who continued with a bet of 2,600. Torii check-raised to 7,100 and Gouveia jammed all in as the bigger stack. Torii called off his stack of 26,200 chips and the cards were tabled.

Marcelo Torii: 10♠5♠ All in
Flavio Gouveia: 7♠6♠

Gouveia flopped two pair but Torii had a straight draw to hit. The 9♣ on the turn was a brick and the A♠ on the river gave Gouveia the win as Torii headed to the rail.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Renato de Matteo raised to 1,500 in middle position and was called by both of the blinds. The flop came K♠10♦2♠ and the action checked around to the 6♦ on the turn.

Rogerio Taboza took a stab at the pot with a bet of 2,100 from the big blind. Both de Matteo and the small blind called to see the 3♦ on the river. This time, the action checked to de Matteo who sized up a bet of 7,700. The small blind quickly folded and Taboza took his time but eventually did the same.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Five players saw a flop for 1,200 apiece and the dealer spread the A♦6♠4♥ across the felt. Andrea Quadros led out with a bet of 2,000 from early position and was called by Juan Aramberri and Raimundo Ossa.

The turn brought the 10♦ and the action checked around to the Q♥ on the river. Aramberri made a bet of 4,500 on the river which Ossa called and Quadros stepped aside. Aramberri held A♣7♠ for top pair but Ossa showed A♠9♣ for a better kicker to claim the pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

"Po, po, po!" could be heard echoing the Monte Carlo Poker Club which means that Leonardo Rizzo was dragging in a pot. It came on the heels of the elimination of Anthony Temperine after a preflop engagement saw the two players with all of their chips in the middle.

Tempering tabled A♣A♦ while Rizzo was left with 3♥3♣ and needing some help. That help arrived on the K♥8♦3♠ flop when Rizzo spiked a three to take the lead. The J♣, 10♣ runout was clean and Temperine was eliminated, sending his chips and the lead to Rizzo before the first break of the day.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Marco Dutra opened to 1,000 in early position and Alexandre Couto three-bet to 3,500 from a couple of seats over. Anthony Temperine four-bet to 8,500 on the button and the action folded back to Couto who five-bet jammed all in for 20,000, prompting a quick fold from Temperine.

Next door, Lukas Robinson raised to 1,200 from under the gun and was called by Marcelo Torii in middle position. Feliks Saakyan three-bet to 4,200 in the cutoff which got Robinson to fold. Torii contemplated for a moment and then four-bet to 16,200 which got Saakyan to dump his cards in the muck.
