Macchiarelli Flops Nut Straight
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Patrick Zanone opened the action with an early position raise to 1,400 and picked up two callers before Claudio Tornetta reraised to 6,800 from the small blind. Zanone called, Christophe Larquemin called and Luciano Macchiarelli called on the button.
Four players went to the flop, which came 6♦8♠4♦. Tornetta continued for 11,300 and action folded to Macchiarelli, who moved all in for 12,900. Tornetta called and players flipped their cards, with Macchiarelli at risk.
Luciano Macchiarelli: 7♣5♦
Claudio Tornetta: 9♣9♥
Tornetta had pocket nines, but Macchiarelli had flopped the nuts with his straight. The turn came the A♦ and the river was the K♥. Macchiarelli held and won the pot. Tornetta tutted and shook his head in dismay.
