Savinelli Can't Connect
Carlo Savinelli played back to back hands midway through Level 7 to try and build on his good start to Day 1a.
Picking up on the 
board with around 15,000 in the middle, Zhong Chen bet 6,800 and Savinelli called in the big blind. Action went check-check on the 
river. Savinelli pointed to the dealer that Chen would scoop the pot but was forced to show his 
which was no good against Chen's 
.
The very next hand, Savinelli three-bet from the small blind to 14,100 after it was raised preflop by Martin Paap, which was also called by Carlo Citrone. Paap mucked and Citrone called.
Both players checked the 
flop, Savinelli check-called a bet of 8,600 on the 
turn. The 
river was checked through, Savinelli turned over 
which was bested by Citrone's 
.
