Matteo Calzoni opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 200,000, only to have Mariusz Golinski in the small blind respond with a three-bet to 625,000. After taking some time to deliberate, Calzoni made the bold move to go all in, and Golinski snapped him off.
At showdown, Calzoni held A?K?, while Golinski revealed A?A?.
Calzoni was behind, needing help from the board. The flop came K?5?6?, giving him a pair of kings, then the turn brought the K?, completing his trips and putting him in the lead.
The 9? on the river didn’t change anything, and Calzoni secured the double-up, leaving Golinski with a much smaller stack.
