Pinto Picks Up Small
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Michael Pinto opened on the button to 300 and Vinicius Escossi called the small blind.
The 6♥J♣8♠ flop was check-called by Escossi after Pinto bet 300.
A K♠ was turned and players checked to the Q♣ river. Action was checked again to showdown and Escossi showed 10♦7♦, having missed the straight draw on the flop.
Pinto turned over 8♥4♥ for a pair of eights, which was good enough to take the small pot.
Pinto is no stranger to the poker circuit and has an impressive $410,616 in total live recorded earnings. He is yet to cash a WSOP event this summer but typically frequents the European circuit and his current top score came from the 2023 European Poker Tour Main Event, where he cashed 7th for $ 262,616.
