The very dapper looking Salvatore Bonavena has just had his light extinguished here in the Casino Di Venezia. We caught the action on a flop of [9h] [3h] [3d] and both players agreed to play for stacks.
Sanchez: [8h] [6h]
Bonavena: [Tx] [Tx]
So Salvatore Bonavena was ahead but Alejandro Sanchez took the lead on the turn [Qh] and didn’t need the river [5c] to close down the action and eliminate the best dressed man in poker.
