Sarnow's Limping Strategy Pays Off Against Di Giacomo
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Florian Sarnow limped from under the gun and Claudio Di Giacomo made it 120,000 from the hijack. When it got back to Sarnow, he called.
The two saw a flop of Q♦7♣5♦ where Sarnow checked, and Di Giacomo fired 110,000. Sarnow then put in raising chips, but it wasn't quite enough so he was forced to put in the extra to make it 220,000. Di Giacomo called.
Both then checked to showdown on the 10♠ turn and 5♣ river where Sarnow showed Q♣J♣ for a pair of queens, and Di Giacomo mucked his hand.
