Rosario Angelo during the 2025 Battle of Malta.

Angelo Patane opened to 3,500 from UTG. From UTG+1, Rosario Angelo decided to call, and Juergen Hoeh joined the fun from the Big Blind.

The flop featured 3♠Q♣K♦ and, all three players opted to check. Hoeh bet 3,500 when the 5♦ fell on the turn; Patange and Angelo both made the call.

On the river A♥, Hoeh slowed down and checked. Patane bet 12,000, Angelo called and Hoeh folded.

Angelo Patange: 5♥4♥
Rosario Angelo: Q♥T♥

Second pair was good enough for Angelo, and he collected the pot as the conclusion of late registration approached.

Angelo Patange: 160,000
Rosario Angelo: 140,000
