David Salituro

Niveau 25 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Lachezar Petkov raised to 170,000 in middle position and Max Neugebauer called in the hijack, as did big blind Andrea Radicchi.

The flop came 7♠6♦8♥ action checked to Neugebauer who bet 200,000. Radicchi then raised to 825,000 and both opponents quickly folded.

The next hand, Alf Martinsson raised to 165,000 in the cutoff and Radicchi and Michael Rocco came along from the blinds.

All three players checked the J♥4♥3♠ flop before Radicchi led out for 190,000 on the 2♥ turn. Rocco and Martinsson both called.

Radicchi checked the 4♦ river and Rocco bet 475,000. Martinsson paused for a moment before calling, while Radicchi folded.

Rocco showed 8♣6♥ for a bluff and Martinsson won the pot with K♠J♦.
