Lena Takes Two

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

On a table with plenty of big names such as [Removed:172], Mark Teltscher, Javier Gomez Zapatero and Sam Grafton, Giovanni Lena just claimed two pots in a row. Grafton raised to 450 and Lena called on the button, as did Gomez Zapatero in the small blind. On the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} flop all three players checked.

On the {3-Spades} turn, Lena bet 800 and just Gomez Zapatero called. The {J-Clubs} river was checked through again and Gomez Zapatero showed {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, which Lena had beat with {J-Spades}{10-Spades}.

One hand later, a raise to 450 by Elvin Muratovic was three-bet to 1,600 by Grafton and Lena called, as did Muratovic. The flop came {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Grafton continued for 1,800 when it was checked to him. Only Lena called and the {5-Diamonds} on the turn saw a check by the Brit and a bet of 5,000 by Lena. That was enough to shut down all further action and Lena claimed back-to-back pots.
