Set Over Set For Astarita
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Giulio Astarita raised from the hijack to 1,300. He saw Jimmy Guerrero fold on the button, but Andrea Piglionica three-bet to 3,900 in the small blind.
Astarita called, and discovered a 2♠8♦10♠ flop, where he bet 3,000. But Piglionica chose to check-raise to 8,200. Astarita made a face but eventually called.
The 4♣ came on the turn, and Piglionica shoved for 16,800 chips. Astarita snap-called.
Andrea Piglionica: 8♣8♠
Giulio Astarita: 10♦10♥
Both players hit a set on the flop, but Astarita had the best one. So after the river A♥, he scooped the pot. Covered, Piglionica was eliminated.
