Level 12
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
The hand we are about to describe is one of the reasons poker players flock to tournaments hosted in Italy.
The action folded around to Piero Schiavulli in the cutoff and he looked down at his cards, doubled checked that he had 31 big blinds and moved all-in for 50,100. The button and small blind folded but our Hungarian chip leader, Balazs Botond, made the call.
Botond:
Schiavulli; !!
The flop gave Chiavulli some hope of staying in the EPT Campione Main Event and the smacked him straight between the eyes, gifting him a straight. The inconsequential on the river completed the hand and Schiavulli leapt from his seat with a cry of "VAMOS!" Well played that man.
