Huge Clash Between First and Second Chip Leaders

Dino Marsani and Ugo Faggioli began the day in first and second place in the chip counts respectively. They are now sat side-by-side on Table 10 and are involved in a pot now.

Faggioli opened the action preflop to 7,000 and Dino Marsani three-bet to 21,000. Back on Faggioli and he four-bets to 54,000, Marsani calls.

On the flop, Faggioli checks and Marsani bets 51,000, which Faggioli calls. The dealer places a on the turn and after another check, Marsani moves all in for 161,000 chips, which Faggioli snap-calls.

Dino Marsani:
Ugo Faggioli:

Faggioli’s pocket rockets have been outdone by Marsani’s pocket jacks that improved to a set on the flop. With only two aces in the deck to turn things around for Faggioli on the river, things are looking bleak indeed. There is no reprieve on the river and Marsani is closing in on half-a-million chips as a result. Faggioli is left withe just 15 big blinds after that clash.

Dino Marsani – 535,000
Ugo Faggioli – 45,000
