Seated in the Hi-jack, Tomas Svoboda opened to 1,800. Valerio Missori (Button) and Andrea Gagliolo (Small Blind) both made the call.

All gas and no breaks from Svoboda, who bet 3,700 after an initial check from Gagliolo on the J♠9♦J♦ flop. Missori made the call before Gagliolo mucked his hand. Svoboda sized up to 10,200 on the T♥ turn. Missori called, and as if the board wasn’t already wet enough, the dealer revealed the Q♣ river. Svoboda checked fairly swiftly, and after some consideration, Missori checked back.

Tomas Svoboda: A♥J♣
Valerio Missori: 8♦7♦

The straight was enough for Missori to secure the pot.

Valerio Missori: 61,000
Tomas Svoboda: 37,000
