Messina Takes From Apicella

Maxime Taldir

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/4,000, 4,000 ante

Valentin Messina raised to 8,000 from early position and was called by Anthony Apicella in the hijack.

Messina checked a flop of 3♦J♠5♥. Apicella seized this opportunity to bet 8,000 but Messina check-raised to 24,000. Apicella made the call.

Messina continued for 21,000 on the 5♠ turn and Apicella quickly called to find the 2♦ river. Messina moved all-in and Apicella snap-folded.

It appeared that the table was playing a show-one game, so Messina had to reveal one of his cards, and it was the J♦.
