Genovesi Tells An Interesting Story
Jackson Genovesi opened to 110,000 and once Yorane Kerignard folded, Alessio Isaia three-bet to 275,000. Genovesi is not the type of player to fold to a three-bet and he made the call.
The flop came down 
, Isaia lead out with a 150,000 bet and Genovesi stuck around. Both players checked the on the turn and Isaia checked the 
on the river but Genovesi fired a large bet of 510,000.
Isaia shook his head and muttered something under his breath before saying, "that's an interesting story. Very interesting."
He must have either believed Genovesi's tale or simply had nothing to look him up with because he mucked his hand.

Genovesi Makes Laydown Against His Judgement
Level 25
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Jackson Genovesi has just made a lay down that he says he thinks was bad
Yorane Kerignard opened to 80,000 on the button and Genovesi called in the big blind. The 
flop contained more clubs that the town centre of St Julian's here in Malta and Genovesi check-called a 50,000 bet from his opponent. The 
saw Genovesi check, then fold, to a 180,000 bet.
Preflop Aggression Not Being Followed Through
Level 25
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
The last five hands have seen preflop raises from the button and a call from whichever player was in the big blind but then they have checked down the boards each time. One of them needs to rediscover their aggression because otherwise they will be passing the blinds around all night long.

board. The river card was the 
and after both players check Kerignard picked up the pot with

Isaia Shoves On Genovesi
Alessio Isaia opened to 80,000 on the button and next to act was Jackson Genovesi three-bet to 200,000. Yorane Kerignard folded but Isaia had other ideas and he moved all-in for a shade over 900,000.
"You have the good old ace-nine yeah? Good shove," said Genovesi as he folded his hand.
