Nizzardelli Scoops Huge Pot With Seven-Deuce
Wouter Beltz raised to 600 from middle position and Michele Nizzardelli came along from the small blind. Abraham Serrano then raised the price to 3,000 from the big blind, and only Nizzardelli called.
He checked the K?10?3? flop for Serrano to make a bet of 4,500. Nizzardelli called and the 7? was turned. Another check followed from Nizzardelli before Serrano downsized to 2,600.
Nizzardelli was not deterred by that bet and stuck in another call for the 2? river to complete the board. The deuce caused Nizzardelli to lead out promptly, for 10,000 chips.
Serrano snap called and showed his A?K? for top pair. However, Nizzardelli had him beat with his 7?2?, who flopped a flush draw but made runner-runner two pair to scoop a big pot in the early stages of Day 1a.
