Di Nicola Continues Descent
Level 34
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Ermanno Di Nicola defended his big blind after Julien Loire opened to 500,000 from the cutoff.
The 9♥6♣4♠ flop checked through to the 4♥ turn. Di Nicola bet 325,000 and was called.
The 9♠ river doubled paired the board, which marked the second time that had happened in a hand between the duo today. Both players checked through to showdown.
Di Nicola had jack-high with his J♥5♥, while Loire took down the pot with king-high as he had K♥3♥. Had a third heart peeled off on the river, fireworks were bound to ignite.
