and Cristea check-called a bet of 150,000. Both players checked the 
turn.

which was good enough to win the pot.
A few hands later, Pinto raised again to 125,000 from early position and Giuliano Bendinelli called in the big blind.
Pinto continued for 150,000 on the 
flop and Bendinelli called. Pinto upped his bet to 450,000 on the 
turn and Bendinelli again called. Both players checked down the 
river.

for a flopped pair of aces and Pinto again mucked.
