Big Pot for Tato
Mallory Frere opened with a raise to 7,500 from the hijack, which was called by Igor Pihela in the cutoff. Bartolomeo Tato then made a three-bet to 23,000, which both players called.
On the 3♣K♠3♠ flop, Tato seized the initiative and bet 30,000. Frere and Pihela both opted to call.
Tato checked when the A♦ turn came, but Frere confidently bet 24,000. Pihela promptly called, as did Tato.
With no further action on the J♠ river, all players checked.
Tato, sitting in the big blind position, needed to reveal his cards first and proudly showed A♥A♣ for an full house. Tato also expressed disappointment that none of his opponents placed a bet on the river. The other players mucked their hands, and Tato scooped the sizable 235,000 pot, much to his delight.
