Menegon Puts Paonessa in Blender

Richard Hayes

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The board read 10♦A♣8♥J♠10♥ and around 51,000 was in the pot.

Luca Paonessa had led out with a bet of 20,500, and was met with a three-bet jam by Marco Menegon for 50,000.

Paonessa had 55,000 left behind and the players engaged in about five minutes of good natured chat in Italian, which was unfortunately way beyond PokerNews knowledge of the beautiful language.

Ultimately the clock was called and Paonessa folded, showing A♦. Menegon showed 10♣ for the rivered trip tens and Paonessa tapped the table.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Andrea Volpi opened to 6,000 from early position, and was faced with a three-bet jam by Dario Pieruzzini to 34,000 from the cutoff. After asking for a count, Volpi made the quick call.

Dario Pieruzzini: A♠7♠ All in
Andrea Volpi: 8♥8♣

As the cards were turned over Pieruzzini smiled at his opponent, and wagged his finger, as if to say 'you aren't holding'. Volpi had a good chuckle.

The 9♥5♥4♠ flop was clear for Volpi, as was the 5♦ turn, however the A♦ rolled off on the river to give Pieruzzini a pair of aces and prove him right.

Both players laughed as the river hit, Pieruzzini saying "I told you", as he raked in the pot.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Dustin Kuipers opened to 4,000 under the gun and was called by Federico Cipollini on the button.

On the 10♥6♣3♥ flop, Kuipers check-called a bet of 6,500 from Cipollini.

The 10♠ rolled off on the turn to pair the board, and Kuipers again check-called versus a bet of 17,000 from his opponent.

The 5♠ river was checked through. Kuipers showed 4♦4♠ for two pair tens and fours, while Cipollini shook his head and showed A♥8♥ for a pair of tens with an ace-kicker, having missed his flopped flush draw.

Richard Hayes

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Davide Manfre was all-in for 82,500 and at risk versus Ioan Abrudan, who had the slightly covering stack.

Davide Manfre: A♦A♣ All in
Ioan Abrudan: A♠K♥

In a cooler, Manfre was in great shape for the double-up with pocket aces versus Abrudan's ace-king, and no salvation was provided for Abrudan by the K♠6♦5♣5♥3♦ runout.

Davide Manfre	175,000 175,000	175,000
