Speranzoni Takes and Gives
Level 34
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Alberto Speranzoni had been dominating the table for several hands, picking up blinds along the way, before he raised to 500,000 from the early position holding 10?9?. Ferdinando Costagliola, sitting in the small blind, responded by shoving all-in with A?3?. After some deliberation, Speranzoni made the call.
The 5?6?8? flop gave Speranzoni plenty of outs, as he needed to improve his hand. However, the 3? turn and Q? river didn’t change things in his favor, and Costagliola secured a crucial double-up.
