Calzoni Secures a Double Up
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Matteo Calzoni opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 200,000, only to have Mariusz Golinski in the small blind respond with a three-bet to 625,000. After taking some time to deliberate, Calzoni made the bold move to go all in, and Golinski snapped him off.
At showdown, Calzoni held A♠K♣, while Golinski revealed A♥A♣.
Calzoni was behind, needing help from the board. The flop came K♠5♣6♦, giving him a pair of kings, then the turn brought the K♦, completing his trips and putting him in the lead.
The 9♠ on the river didn’t change anything, and Calzoni secured the double-up, leaving Golinski with a much smaller stack.
