Sciacca and Ragone Battle in Blinds
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
It folded to Antonio Sciacca in the small blind, who raised to 55,000. Filippo Ragone called in the big blind and called Sciacca's bet of 50,000 on the K♠9♣A♦ flop as well.
The 10♣ turn slowed Sciacca down, as he checked it over to Ragone. Ragone took up the initiative with a bet of 65,000, which Sciacca quickly called.
Sciacca checked again when the 7♣ river completed the board. Ragone neared the end of his shot clock when he checked back, seeing Sciacca open A♠6♥ for top pair.
Ragone had the better kicker with his A♥J♣, however, and was thus awarded the pot.
