Guzzardi Is King

Guzzardi's good

Michael Guzzardi is on the verge of becoming the first player into the quarter finals. Already leading his match 1-0, he has taken a commanding advantage in the second rubber.

All the chips went in the middle preflop with Guzzardi's {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} in front of Bruno Portaro's {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

"It's ok, I'm going to suck out Michael," said Portaro.

He didn't. The board ran out {6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{j-Spades}{4-Diamonds} to move Guzzardi up to 8,500 in chips.

Portaro has some work to do, to avoid becoming the 11th member of the live team to hit the rail.
