Cero Zuccarello must feel like his table is ganging up on him. First, on a board of {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {3-Spades}, he bet 1,500 and was called by his lone opponent. He checked the {A-Diamonds} river, then called when his opponent bet 5,000. The other player showed {4-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} for a flopped full house, which was good.

A few hands later, Zuccarello raised from the small blind to 2,500 and was called by the big blind. Zuccarello bet 3,600 when the flop came down {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {7-Spades}, but had to fold when his opponent raised all in to 15,000.

Those two defeats have left Zuccarello with 12,000 chips.
