Event Info
Coppola in the big blind called a raise from Schlein, and then check-called on the flop. He checked the turn and Schlein bet again. "Do you really think I'm going to fold?" asked Coppola -- naturally, he called.
Both players checked the river and it went to showdown. Perhaps Coppola should have folded -- they both held the nut low and a pair of aces, but Coppola's kicker wasn't good enough and Schlein took three quarters of the pot.
Coppola:
Schlein:
He raised preflop and called a reraise from Josh Schlein on the button to see a flop, which Coppola check-called.
Coppola bet out on the turn and then called a raise from Schlein. He bet out one more time on the river and now Schlein raised all in. Coppola called, and they chopped.
Coppola: for the low
Schlein: for the high
Announced Coppola, "Against you I will never fold a hand because you play so bad. Keep pushing. We'll see who goes out first."
Indeed we will. They were shaking hands most jovially just now, though.
By the by, I feel it's important to note that the Italians are among the most fragrant railers I have ever had to work amongst. Aftershave-tastic, how very lovely.
Tenner:
Schlein:
Turn:
River:
Thus, Mr. Schlein doubles to 215,000 while Mr Tenner's stack is barely dented.
Most of Sirous Jamshidi's chips were already in the middle, and he checked to Scott Bohlman, who bet. Jamshidi thought about it for some time, before raising all in -- and got snap-called by Bohlman.
"You flopped the wheel, huh?" sighed Jamshidi. "I have three pair. Maybe a miracle will happen."
Bohlman:
Jamshidi:
River: an unmiraculous
Out he goes in sixth.
Sirous Jamshidi raised and got called by both Mark Tenner and Derek Raymond in the blinds.
The flop checked around to Jamshidi, who bet again. Tenner called, but this time Raymond passed. Heads up to the turn.
Tenner now bet out on the turn and Jamshidi flatted; Tenner then check-called the river -- and discovered he was scooping.
Tenner:
Jamshidi:
"Good call," said Jamshidi, as his stack was reduced to 115,000. Tener meanwhile is our chip monster on 1.5 million.
Mr. Dario Minieri has just scampered over to the final table to join Max Pescatori, Cristiano Blanco and Flaminio Malaguti at the rail.
Schlein bet out on the turn of the board and Bohlman flatted; Schlein bet out again on the river and this time Bohlman raised. Call, and showdown.
Schlein:
Bohlman:
"Nice hand, Mark," he said, "I can't believe you have aces every time I have ace-king."
They saw a flop -- -- which they both checked. They saw a turn -- -- on which Tenner bet out. Raymond called. Tenner bet out again on the river and this time there was a pause. Tenner turned over and reached for the chips -- but then it was pointed out that perhaps he should let Raymond act first.
"Oh, I thought you already called," said Tenner.
After a brief pause, Raymond: "What did you say?"
He folded.
