Speranza Shuts Down
Level 7
: 300/600, 600 ante
With the board reading 
, Gianluca Speranza was in the big blind and facing a bet of 4,500 from Matous Houzvicek on the button. Speranza opted for a check-raise to 14,000, which Houzvicek called.
The river brought the 
and both players checked. Speranza showed 
for busted straight and flush draws, Houzvicek tabled 
for a pair of queens and raked in the pot to Speranza's visible dismay.
