Savinelli’s Pair of Nines Holds Up Against Ionita
Level 7
: 400/800, 800 ante
Carlo Savinelli kicked things off with a raise to 1,600 from under the gun. Stefan Ionita, sitting in the cutoff, responded with a three-bet to 4,500, and Savinelli called.
After the flop came 4♣9♣J♥, Savinelli checked, and Ionita led out with a bet of 3,000. Savinelli made the call.
Both players checked when the 2♦ hit the turn.
On the river, the 10♣ came down, and Savinelli took the lead again with a bet of 800. Ionita quickly called, and Savinelli revealed K♠9♠ for a pair of nines, which turned out to be enough for Ionita.
