Del Piero Trending Upwards Again

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Enzo Del Piero bet 175,000 on the {7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{Q-Clubs} turn out of the big blind after Harry Lodge had checked and the latter called before checking again the {3-Spades} river. Del Piero then shoved and forced a fold.

Del Piero won another small pot against Lodge with {Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades} on the board of {6-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} before Lodge won the first ever limped three-way pot by betting the river.

A bet of 175,000 by Johnson on the {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} saw Del Piero snap-call and Johnson showed {A-Hearts}{7-Spades}. Del Piero had {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and the kicker played to send yet another pot to him. "Like a jojo," Del Piero added.

Johnson and Lodge Take from Del Piero

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds, a min-raised pot to the flop saw Enzo Del Piero bet the {6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop for 100,000 in the small blind and Joe Johnson raised to 245,000 in the big blind. Del Piero called and checked again the {K-Spades} turn. Johnson then fired 330,000 and that won the pot.

Right after, Harry Lodge took another pot off Del Piero and that sent him below the million mark again.

Action Slows Down

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

There have been a couple of walks, and Enzo Del Piero gave up one pot against Joe Johnson when the latter fired two barrels on a board of {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{K-Spades}.

Harry Lodge then limped in and Del Piero checked. On the {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, Lodge check-called a bet worth 40,000 before check-folding the {Q-Hearts} turn to a second bet of 100,000.

Johnson Takes Some Back

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Out of the small blind, Enzo Del Piero raised to 100,000 and Joe Johnson called in the big blind. The flop of {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs} went check, check, before Del Piero bet the {5-Diamonds} turn for 105,000. Johnson called and Del Piero slowed down by checking the {6-Hearts} river.

Johnson made it 180,000 to go and Del Piero folded, mucking the {Q-Diamonds} face up.

Del Piero Doubles Through Johnson

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

A rather innocent battle of the blinds saw Enzo Del Piero limp and Joe Johnson check his option in the big blind. Del Piero check-called a bet worth 50,000 on the {J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop before the duo checked the {7-Clubs} turn. On the {3-Hearts} river, Del Piero overbet for 305,000 with less than half a million behind and Johnson moved all in. Del Piero snap-called and showed {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for the nut straight, Johnson had the lower straight with {5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}.

The double of Del Piero was worth 755,000 and he jumped into second place after being the far shortest stack in the previous break.

"Write down, Enzo no deal," Del Piero said but after he was done stacking, he told to Johnson and Harry Lodge that he would still do a deal if both were interested.

Johnson Gives Up Twice

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

In the first hand, Joe Johnson opened to 100,000 from the small blind and Harry Lodge called in the big blind. The {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop went check, check. On the {A-Diamonds} turn, Johnson checked and then folded to a bet worth 100,000 by Lodge.

In the next hand, he raised again and it was Enzo Del Piero who defended the big blind. On the {J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades} turn, Del Piero bet 100,000 and Johnson called before the {5-Hearts} river saw Del Piero shove. Johnson folded and was shown the {2-Hearts}.

Last but not least, Del Piero raised to 100,000 from the button and Lodge called in the big blind. Lodge then ended up check-folding the {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop to a continuation bet.

Break for the Last Three

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Joe Johnson won another small pot against Harry Lodge after min-raising the small blind and Lodge defended. On the {10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop and the {K-Clubs} turn, both checked. Johnson's bet of 85,000 on the {5-Clubs} river took down the pot, as Lodge folded.

Right after the level came to an end, the remaining three hopefuls were sent into a 15-minute break.
