Rossi Jams Twice

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Gabriele Rossi opened to 230,000 with {k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Kristian Larsson called with {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} in the big blind. On the {10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, Larsson check-shoved into a bet of 325,000 by Rossi quickly folded.

"I don't want to give you more cards, I am always unlucky on the river," Larsson joked.

Larsson then limped the button with {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and hit second pair, Rossi was in no mood to continue with {9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for bottom pair and folded against the bet of Larsson.

For the first time on the final table, Rossi open-shoved into the shorter stacks behind him and got it in with {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts} on the button. Ferran Corominas folded {10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Larsson let go of {q-Hearts}{7-Spades}.

One orbit later, Rossi jammed the small blind witz {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Corominas folded {8-Spades}{2-Hearts} in the big blind.

De Jong's Bluff Doesn't Work

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Gabriele Rossi raised to 225,000 first to act with the {j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Cornelis de Jong called with {a-Clubs}{5-Hearts} in the big blind. De Jong checked the {q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop and Rossi checked behind.

The {6-Spades} appeared on the turn and both players checked before de Jong then bet the {8-Diamonds} river for 400,000. Rossi was seemingly confused and used a time bank extension before making the call with his pair of eights.
