Baldassari Builds His Boat

[user76023]

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Chris Brammer is one of the slightly less well-known UK players playing here today, but the Brit is still well-regarded by peers, however he just opened to 2,700 from the button and Fabrizio Baldassari made the call in the big blind.

The flop came {Q-Hearts} {J-Spades} {4-Hearts} and both players checked to see the {Q-Clubs} turn, Baldassari checked a second time and Brammer bet 3,000 only for Baldassari to suddenly to check-raise to 8,700. Brammer tanked before making the call and called an additional 9,000 on the {4-Spades} river, the Italian flipped {Q-Spades} {8-Spades} though and the full house was good enough for the pot.
