One Can Never Be Too Careful

A very funny hand played out that resulted in a double-up for Giuseppe Biancoviso, and had Ramin Hajiyev in hysterics at its conclusion.

Hajiyev opened from mid position and was called by Jose Manuel Nadal Sordo in the hijack and Giuseppe Biancoviso in the big blind. The flop fell {6-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Biancoviso led for 19,000 and only Sordo called to the {j-Clubs} turn.

Biancoviso went for the old check-raise manoeuvre. Sordo bet 17,200 and called when the Italian bumped it up to 43,000. The river came {5-Hearts} and Biancoviso checked to face an all-in shove from Sordo. This prompted lots of Italian styles gesturing and antics like it was the hardest decision in the world.

Two minutes went past and Biancoviso called all-in for his last 90,000 with {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a straight that he hit with a gutshot on the river. Sordo only had {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

Hajiyev said through his laughter, "You hit a gutshot and you take that long to call?"
