, the limper called, and it was three-way action to the (X) flop.
It went check-check to the MP player, who bet 1,100. Musumeci woke up with a check-raise to 3,025, EP folded, MP three-bet 9,000, and Musumeci made the call. When a blank appeared on the turn, Musumeci check and her opponent instantly moved all in. Musumeci snapped-called and was ahead of the MP's 
. A blank on the river and it was all over.
