Polverino Wins Battle of the Blinds
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Two opponents had limped from early position and Stipe Orec followed in the small blind. Daniele Polverino raised to 3,000 and only Orec called.
The 5?10?5? flop was checked through by both players. On the 8? turn Orec led out with a bet of 3,000 and Polverino called.
On the A? river Orec downsized and put out a bet of 1,000. Polverino called.
Orec showed Q?Q? for a pair of queens, which was no good versus Polverino's A?K? for a pair of aces.
