Regonaschi Takes Chip Lead
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Marco Regonaschi opened to 11,000 from middle position and was called by Zakaria Azzouzi in the hijack. Simone Demasi was in the cutoff, and he reached for chips and produced a three-bet to 44,000. Both of his opponents called.
The 7♥3♦4♥ flop and A♦ turn were checked through by all players.
The 2♥ river completed the board, and Regonaschi checked again. Azzouzi slid out a bet of 42,000, and received calls from both of his opponents.
Azzouzi mucked his hand, Demasi turned over A♣10♦ for a pair of aces, but Regonaschi had A♠J♠ for a pair of aces with the better kicker, sending him a chunky pot.
