Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Giacomo Maisto
Giacomo Maisto

Vladimir Geshkenbein raised to 210,000 under the gun and Giacomo Maisto called out of the big blind. They saw a flop.

Flop: {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Maisto checked to Geshkenbein, who bet 275,000. Back to Maisto, who spent a few moments fingering stacks of orange T25,000 chips, before announcing all in. Geshkenbein asked how much it was, but before the dealer had had a chance to assess it, Geshkenbein told him, "Doesn't matter. I call." They flipped the cards.

Geshkenbein: {q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Maisto: well ahead with {q-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Turn: {2-Spades} - no change there.

River: wait for it... {4-Hearts}!

Maisto banged the table in frustration and stormed off for a moment, while Geshkenbein grinned widely. A second later Maisto had returned and they were shaking hands, Geshkenbein telling him, "Unlucky." The stacks were finally assessed - they were close - and it was established that Maisto was indeed covered.

The players are now taking a short break before we continue, three-handed.
