Aces Hold for Polito

Richard Hayes

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Laurent Polito opened to 2,300 from middle position and was called by an opponent in the next seat. The player on the button moved all in for 14,000, and Polito called. The other player folded.

Opponent: 8♠8♣ All in
Laurent Polito: A♥A♠

Polito was in good shape, and the A♣K♣J♦ flop left the opponent drawing to running eights or clubs.

The 7♣ turn provided the opponent with some hope, but the 10♥ was a brick, with Polito scooping the pot and sending his opponent to the rail.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Benjamin Fantone opened to 3,000 from under the gun, and received a call from a player in middle position, along with Danilo Colomba in the cutoff, and the player in the big blind.

On the Q♥J♣4♣ flop, action was checked to Colomba, who fired out a bet of 9,000. Only Fantone called.

The 5♣ turn was checked through by both players.

On the 3♣ river, Fantone led out with a bet of 10,000 and Colomba called. Fantone showed K♥K♦ for a pair of kings, while Colomba had A♠Q♦ for a pair of queens, neither player holding a club for the one-card flush. Fantone raked in a nice pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Benjamin Fantone	80,000
Danilo Colomba	52,000 23,000	23,000
