Pilato Loses One, Then Wins One
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Francesco Pilato raised in the hijack to 110,000, then Aleksandr Shevliakov three-bet 300,000 on the button. Pilato called.
The dealer spread a flop of 10?9?9? and Pilato check-called a bet of 80,000.
When the Q? hit the turn, Pilato checked once more before folding to a bet of 225,000 from Shevliakov.
The following hand:
Pilato opened again, this time from the cutoff, and only Maher Nouira called out of the big blind.
When the J?10?9? flop hit the felt, Nouira check-called a bet of 110,000 from Pilato.
Both players proceeded to check down the 8? turn and 4? river. Nouira tabled 10?3? for a pair of tens, but it was no good as Pilato showed A?J? for a pair of jacks to take the pot.
