Belluscio and Rossitto Like to Play
In the first hand, Julio Belluscio was in the cutoff and called a bet of 100,000. Michael Rossitto, sitting in the small blind, responded with a raise to 475,000, and Belluscio came along to see a flop.
The dealer spread Q♣6♣J♦, and both players checked.
When the 8♦ landed on the turn, Belluscio took the initiative with a bet of 700,000. Rossitto responded by check-shoving for his remaining 3,445,000. Belluscio went deep into the tank before folding K♦10♦ face-up, clearly pained by the decision.
Roughly one orbit later, the two were back at it. With about 850,000 already in the middle and the board reading J♠5♦8♥2♦J♦, Rossitto, now in the big blind, led out for 600,000. Belluscio, on the button, raised to around 2,000,000, putting Rossitto in a tough spot.
"I have a jack," Rossitto said, before asking, "Will you show if I fold?"
"It's 50/50," Belluscio replied with a grin. "I'm a river guy, not a turn guy."
After some thought, Rossitto let it go, and Belluscio kept his word, turning over 5♣5♠ for a full house.
