Pichierri Puts Pihela to the Test with River Pressure

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Alessandro Pichierri

According to a player at the table, the hand began with Alessandro Pichierri limping from the small blind, and Igor Pihela checking his option in the big blind.

Both players took a cautious approach, checking the 574 flop.

The turn brought the A turn and Pichierri checked, prompting Pihela to bet 10,000. Pichierri responded with a raise to 30,000, and after some consideration, Pihela made the call.

By the time PokerNews joined the action, the board read J on the river, and Pichierri had moved all in for 78,000, putting Pihela to a difficult decision for his tournament life. Pihela, holding a shorter stack, went deep into the tank, weighing his options for an extended period before ultimately folding his hand.

Pichierri scooped the pot, boosting his stack significantly as Pihela was left to regroup.
