Costa Doubles Through Pialat

Daniel J O'Hair

Nível 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Maxime Pialat opened to 2,400 from middle position and was called by Marc Trijaud in the small blind and Silvio Costa in the big blind.

It was checked to Pialat on the Q♠Q♣5♣ flop and he bet 2,400. Trijaud folded, but Costa check-raised to 6,400. Pialat called.

The A♣ came on the turn and Costa shoved for his remaining 8,200. Pialat quickly called to put Costa at risk.

Silvio Costa: K♣9♣
Maxime Pialat: Q♦J♠

Costa had turned the nut flush, but still needed to fade the full-house draw of Pialat.

The 6♥ river bricked out and Costa doubled up.
