10 Millions for Pezzullo
Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
In the hijack, Nicola Pezzullo opened to 500,000, and he faced Sandro Jose Alves in the big blind.
Both of them checked on the 10♠J♠9♠ flop. But after Alves checked again on the turn 8♥, Pezzullo bet 500,000.
Alves quickly called A♣2♣ and let the pot going in Pezzullo's direction. And maybe the Italian player wanted to see the river, because he had a straight and a straight flush draw with K♦Q♠.
Puzzello is the first player of the tournament to reach 10,000,000 chips.
