Player Interview: Frank Crivello

Niveau 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Frank Crivello has been hovering near the top of the chip counts for most of the day, and things had been going pretty smoothly until he lost a 2.5-million-chip pot right before the players went to break.

Even though he might be disappointed in how he played the hand, he still sits with an enviable stack of around 6 million.

PokerNews met up with Frank Crivello to find out about that tragic hand and how he plans to bounce back to finish out the night strong.

Crivello: I had on the button. I raised and got three-bet from the blind. I called, and the flop came rainbow. The blind led out for 400k, and I put him all in. He had for a set. It was a tough beat.

PokerNews: How does such a big hit to your stack play into your mindset going forward?

Crivello: I'm dwelling on that a little bit, but I'll be over it by the time we come back from break.

That was probably one of the worst hands I played all tournament. Usually, I don't make errors like that. I could have been a little more cautious on the three-bet, or because I had position, I could have four-bet to see where I am in the hand. If I four-bet, he may have laid down his jacks, or if he came back over the top, I might have laid down ace-queen.

PN: Tell us a little bit about the day before that dreadful hand.

Crivello: I don't play a lot of big pots, and that's why I'm a little disappointed in myself right now. There's one hand that stood out because I made a straight flush and won about 800k. But mostly I've been chipping up consistently. I've been pretty good at picking my spots.

PN: You only have one WSOP cash, and you earned that early this summer. Are you new to the WSOP?

Crivello: I played last year, but I mostly play online. I don't play a lot because I own companies, but I do well online. I've won some significant stuff online. To be honest, I'm not a big live player, so most of my playing happens on the computer. I work way too much to sit there day in and day out.

PN: Since you're not much of a live player, why are you playing the Main Event?

Crivello: Because it's the Main Event. It's the tournament.

My first year playing was last year, and I made it to late on Day 3, 10-15 before the money.

It feels good to be playing well. I'm picking my spots and staying patient. I've stayed out of trouble other than this last hand, and now I'm going to work on getting my stack back up to the eight-million-chip range by the end of the night.
