Neagoe Wins Limped Pot Off Salerno
"Does anyone want a toilet break?" Rene Schnitzler inquired, and his opponents shook their heads.
"Ah, it doesn't matter. If someone goes all-in, I will call blind," Schnitzler added thereafter.
Matthias Gude then raised to 600,000, and Darius Neagoe pushed all in from the small blind. Schlitzer in the big blind checked his cards and folded, as did Gude.
One hand later, Schnitzler raised to 700,000 without having looked at his cards. Gude in the big blind moved all in.
"Now we have to look together," Schnitzler told his fellow countryman. He first flipped over the Q♣ followed by the 4♠, and folded.
Elia Salerno limped his small blind two hands later, and Neagoe checked from the big blind to the Q♣8♦2♦ flop. Salerno check-called a bet of 425,000, and they checked the Q♦ on the turn. Another check by the Italian on the 4♣ river saw Neagoe bet for 1,400,000, and that won the pot uncontested.
