Denaro Pays Off Karlsson; Fours Good For Santa Maria
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Sergio Denaro bet 40,000 from the big blind on a board of 3?Q?K?Q? and Steinn Karlsson called in the cutoff.
The river was the 2? and Denaro checked over to Karlsson, who fired out 75,000. Denaro took his time before calling as Karlsson turned over Q?J? for trips to win the pot.
At the same time on another table, Fernando Santa Maria bet 65,000 from middle position on a board of 7?J?2?7? and Edoardo Mancinelli called on the button.
Both players checked the 3? river and Santa Maria turned over 4?4?, which was good enough to win the pot as Mancinelli mucked.
