Sick Hand Between Genovesi and Kerignard
Jackson Genovesi opened the betting with his standard sized 42,000 raise from the button and he was the only caller when Yorane Kerignard three-bet to 99,000 from the small blind.
The 
flop saw Keirgnard keep up the aggression and make it 87,000 to play and Genovesi had no problem in making the call. The 
on the turn halted the run of red cards on the board and now Kerignard checked, but when Genovesi bet 182,000 Kerignard check-raised to 442,000. The dealer placed the 
onto the river and Kerignard moved all in.
"Wow! Wow! You are the sickest," said Genovesi before adding, "This might take a while. You know I have a straight right? Of course you do, you are too good. Maybe you have the 
for the flush? You re representing it well but that doesn't mean you have it."
Eventually Genovesi folded an showed 
fr the straight. Kerignard simply mucked his hand and started to stack his chips.

Another Pot To Kerignard
Level 24
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Alessio Isaia opened on the button and both of his opponents made the call. The trio shared the 
flop. Genovesi lead out for 33,000, Kerignard raised to 83,000 and only Genovesi called.
Genovesi then check-called a 154,000 bet on the 
turn , in fact he snap calleed, but both players checked the

and it was enough to scoop another pot.
Isaia Shoves
Level 24
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Yorane Kerignard opened to 50,000 on the button but both he and Jackson Genovesi quickly folded when Alessio Isaia three-bet all in for around 500,000.
Nine-High? Really?
Jackson Geoveesi may be in the hunt for a WPT title ] but we bet he won't pick it up by making big river bets with nothing but nine-high.
Jackson Genovesi opened from the button and Isaia defended his big blind with a call. Isaia then check-called the 
flop but both players checked the 
turn. The river was the 
and Isaia now lead for 57,000 and then called when Genovesi raised to 152,000.
"Nine-high" said Genovesi and he lost, obviously, to the 
of Isaia.

King-High Good For Genovesi
Level 25
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
A short time ago we reported how Jackson Genovesi said it was sometimes hard to fold king-high and now he has just won a pot with that very hand.
Yorane Kerignard opened to 60,000 from the button and Genovesi made the call. The 
flop saw the Genovesi check, then call a 50,000 bet. The 
turn saw the exact same action, except this time the bet was for 90,000. The 
saw Genovesi check for a third time and this time Kerignard just checked behind.
"King-high," said Genovesi proudly as he turned over and it was good because his French opponent mucked his holding.
