Big Pot for Tato
Mallory Frere opened with a raise to 7,500 from the hijack, which was called by Igor Pihela in the cutoff. Bartolomeo Tato then made a three-bet to 23,000, which both players called.
On the 3?K?3? flop, Tato seized the initiative and bet 30,000. Frere and Pihela both opted to call.
Tato checked when the A? turn came, but Frere confidently bet 24,000. Pihela promptly called, as did Tato.
With no further action on the J? river, all players checked.
Tato, sitting in the big blind position, needed to reveal his cards first and proudly showed A?A? for an full house. Tato also expressed disappointment that none of his opponents placed a bet on the river. The other players mucked their hands, and Tato scooped the sizable 235,000 pot, much to his delight.
