Pilato Gets Respect
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Maher Nouira opened to 80,000 from middle position and received calls from Vlad Darie in the cutoff, Francesco Pilato on the button and Ka Kwan Lau in the big blind.
The flop came A♥Q♣Q♥ and action checked around to Pilato, who bet 75,000 in position. Lau folded and Darie folded while Nouira made the call.
Nouira checked the 5♠ turn and Pilato bet again, this time for 150,000 which was enough to force a fold from his one remaining opponent.
