Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Early position limped in for 500 before the hijack bumped it up to 2,000. Dario Drenzi wanted to play for more and three-bet to 6,000 from the button. Only the hijack called.

Drenzi continued for 6,000 on 8♦7♦6♥ and his opponent called.

Drenzi wagered 6,000 again on the 2♠ turn and the hijack called once more.

Action went check-check on the J♦ river and Drenzi turned over A♥A♠ for the winner. His opponent flipped over 5♥5♣ before mucking.
