Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Alessandro Taranto limped the J♣5♣ for Edwin Dela Cruz to check back the J♥8♣, as both players hit second pair on the Q♠J♠4♣ flop. They checked to the 7♦ turn on which Dela Cruz bet for 250,000. Taranto called and repeated the same process on the 3♦ river for 400,000 to get shown the bad news.
Taranto limped the next button to 300,000 with K♣9♦ and Dela Cruz called with the J♦10♦. Following a Q♥J♠7♦ flop, Dela Cruz check-called for 400,000 and the J♣ turn was checked. Dela Cruz checked again the A♦ river and Taranto fired a bet of 1,100,000 to get quickly called.
Thanks to the trips jacks, Dela Cruz pulled into a more comfortable lead once more.
