Level 25
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Yorane Kerignard was on the button and he set the price to play at 60,000. Alessio Isaia called and Jackson Genovesi decided to not actually play a hand for once.
Isaia check-called the 55,000 bet on a 
flop and again on the 
turn when Kerignard bet 95,000. Isaia checked again when the 
made an appearance on the river but was disappointed when Kerignard checked behind.
His disappointment was caused by the fact he held 
and had backed into a straight and Kerignard failed to fire three barrels.
Level 25
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Yorane Kerignard and Jackson Genovesi have been going at each other all day long and we can only imagine what the hole cards have been. Genovesi says he has three-bet with 
at least once but this time when he three-bet over the top of Kerignard's opening raise, Kerignard quickly folded
"This time I had a good hand," said Genovesi before asking Kerignard to pick a card.
"This is a queen," declared Kerignrd before turning over the 
.
"See, I told you were too good," said Genovesi.

turn and finally the river.
Isaia turned over 
for a flopped straight whilst all Genovesi could muster was the 
.
Level 25
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
A short time ago we reported how Jackson Genovesi said it was sometimes hard to fold king-high and now he has just won a pot with that very hand.
Yorane Kerignard opened to 60,000 from the button and Genovesi made the call. The 
flop saw the Genovesi check, then call a 50,000 bet. The 
turn saw the exact same action, except this time the bet was for 90,000. The saw Genovesi check for a third time and this time Kerignard just checked behind.
"King-high," said Genovesi proudly as he turned over 
and it was good because his French opponent mucked his holding.

Yorane Kerignard opened to 50,000 on the button and Jackson Genovesi called. The loose Itlalian then check-called a 42,000 bet on the 
flop but when the 
landed on the turn Genovesi bet 66,000 and Kerignard folded.
The very next hand Genovesi bet 26,000 on the 
flop then called when Keirgnard raised to 66,000. Both players checked the 
turn but when the fell on the river Genovesi lead out for 144,000 and Kerignard made the call.
"Ace-king," said Genovesi and he turned over 
. Kerignard simply mucked.
The hand after that Genovesi made it 50,000 to play from the button and Kerignard made the call. The flop was greeted with a check from Kerignard, a 67,000 bet from Genovesi and a call from Kerignard. The 
was checked by both players but when the 
appeared on the turn Kerignard bet 111,000 and Genovesi folded; albeit after much deliberation.
"I had king high," informed Genovesi before showing either the or , "sometimes it is hard to fold king-high!"
Jackson Geoveesi may be in the hunt for a WPT title ] but we bet he won't pick it up by making big river bets with nothing but nine-high.
Jackson Genovesi opened from the button and Isaia defended his big blind with a call. Isaia then check-called the 
flop but both players checked the turn. The river was the and Isaia now lead for 57,000 and then called when Genovesi raised to 152,000.
"Nine-high" said Genovesi and he lost, obviously, to the 
of Isaia.
