Alessio Isaia has fallen just short of winning his second World Poker Tour title, he's just busted in third place.
Isaia moved all-in from the button for 475,000 and both of his opponents called him. Jackson Genovesi and Yorane Kerignard checked down to the river of a board reading 
, Genovesi betting 200,000 on the river and forcing a fold from Keringard.
"I have a full house," said Genovesi turning over 
. All Isaia could muster was the 
and we are now heads up.

Jackson Genovesi opened to 110,000 and once Yorane Kerignard folded, Alessio Isaia three-bet to 275,000. Genovesi is not the type of player to fold to a three-bet and he made the call.
The flop came down 
, Isaia lead out with a 150,000 bet and Genovesi stuck around. Both players checked the on the turn and Isaia checked the 
on the river but Genovesi fired a large bet of 510,000.
Isaia shook his head and muttered something under his breath before saying, "that's an interesting story. Very interesting."
He must have either believed Genovesi's tale or simply had nothing to look him up with because he mucked his hand.

Level 25
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Jackson Genovesi has just made a lay down that he says he thinks was bad
Yorane Kerignard opened to 80,000 on the button and Genovesi called in the big blind. The 
flop contained more clubs that the town centre of St Julian's here in Malta and Genovesi check-called a 50,000 bet from his opponent. The 
saw Genovesi check, then fold, to a 180,000 bet.
Level 25
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
The last five hands have seen preflop raises from the button and a call from whichever player was in the big blind but then they have checked down the boards each time. One of them needs to rediscover their aggression because otherwise they will be passing the blinds around all night long.
Level 25
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Jackson Genovesi completed his small blind and Yorane Kerignard checked his option to bet from the big blind. Genovesi then fired two barrels worth 40,000 and 60,000 into Kerignard and he called both on the 
board. The river card was the 
and after both players check Kerignard picked up the pot with 
.
Alessio Isaia opened to 80,000 on the button and next to act was Jackson Genovesi three-bet to 200,000. Yorane Kerignard folded but Isaia had other ideas and he moved all-in for a shade over 900,000.
"You have the good old ace-nine yeah? Good shove," said Genovesi as he folded his hand.
