Isaia Climbing Near the Top of the Counts
Level 4
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Alessio Isaia had just eliminated a player when he made a set of nines to crack pocket jacks before getting involved in another pot against Nuri Hadioglu.
Hadioglu raised to 1,800 from under the gun and Isaia three-bet to 5,600 in middle position. Hadioglu called as the flop came 
.
Hadioglu checked to Isaia, who continued for 5,500. Hadioglu called and both players checked the 
turn.
The river came the 
and Hadioglu checked again. Isaia checked behind.
"Six," Hadioglu said.
"Just one," Isaia asked as Hadioglu showed 
. The Italian turned over 
for a pair of jacks to take the pot.
"Are you from Italy," tablemate Uri Reichenstein asked Isaia.
"You play like a Euro," Hadioglu joked.
