Savino Holds on With Ace-High
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Florian Thumm min-raised to 8,000 under the gun, and only Iago Savino called from middle position.
Thumm threw out a bet of 7,000 on the 4♦8♦6♣ flop, and Savino made the call.
A board-pairing 8♠ hit the turn, causing Thumm to fire a second barrel of 13,000. Again, Savino called.
The two players checked the 2♣ river, and Thumm showed K♥J♣ for king-high. Savino had that beat with A♥K♣ for ace-high, and he was awarded the pot.
