Pisano Gets Paid

Benjamin Statz raised to 300,000 from middle position and Robert Pisano came along with the call with the benefit of the button.

The flop brought {3-Spades} {2-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}, and both players checked to the {2-Clubs} turn. Statz put out a delayed continuation bet of 300,000, and Pisano made the smooth call. On the {3-Diamonds} river, Statz checked it again, and Pisano took the opportunity to fire out a bet of 825,000. His opponent tanked it up for a couple minutes, finally putting the calling chips into the pot.

Pisano will take those. He showed up {8-Spades} {8-Clubs}, and his overpair was the winner. Dragging those chips in moves him to about 8.25 million while Statz has slipped to about 8.8 in his own right.
