"Viva Italia"; Baietta Holds on to Double
Level 24
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Mario Baietta was all in for 175,000 from middle position and up against Ramo Balic on the button.
Mario Baietta: A♣Q♠
Ramo Balic: K♠J♠
The 2♠K♥A♠ flop had something for both players as Baietta hit top pair, while Balic had a pair and flush draw.
The 4♥ turn missed Balic, while Baietta dodged the 6♥ river to double up. "Yes. Viva Italian," he yelled, loudly clapping his hands together as he turned away from the table to celebrate.
