Christopher Franco Starts Strong

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

With about 1,300 chips already in the middle on a flop of {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades}, Argentinian professional tennis player Diego Veronelli bet 2,500 from the small blind and Christopher Franco, who was under the gun, called. The player in the hijack folded, leaving Veronelli and Franco heads-up.

The turn brought the {7-Diamonds} and Veronelli checked. Franco bet 3,700, sending Veronelli into the tank for about a minute. Ultimately, he called.

The {6-Clubs} fell on the river and Veronelli checked. Franco moved all-in for what looked like just over 18,000, Veronelli folded, and Franco took the pot.
