Level 2: 100/100 (100)
Entries: 845/862

Vicenzo Messina three-bet the button to 1,300 and was called by James Parker in the small blind, Giacomo Scarpaci from the big blind, Andrea Mazza from under the gun, Marc Schulz from early position, and Hans Nyberg from the cutoff.

Parker checked the T♣2♣J♠ flop before Scarpaci led out for 3,000. Mazza folded before Schulze went into the tank before calling. Nyberg then folded while Messina and Parker both found a call.

The four players all checked after the 7♦ turn before three players checked the Q♠ river. Messina bet 7,200. Parker tanked for about 30 seconds before he called. Scarpaci quickly folded before Schulze tanked for about 30 seconds as well. Schulze eventually folded but not before he showed the table he made a big lay down that he will soon regret with him flashing the Q♦J♦ for the top two pair.

Messina tabled the 8♣7♣ which didn’t get the job done against Parker who tabled the A♥Q♥ to win the hand with the top pair.

James Parker – 75,000
Vicenzo Messina – 40,000
Giacomo Scarpaci – 25,000
Marc Schulze – 25,000
