Pagano Loses Two
Sigurds Eskeland opened for 300 under-the-gun. He had just lost a medium sized pot in the previous hand to an opponent who had rivered the nut flush and had seemed a bit steamed about it. Sat to his left Fergal Cawley perhaps thought so and raised to 700. Team PokerStars Pro Luca Pagano came along for the ride, calling the 700 on the button and the blinds folded. Back to original raiser Eskeland, he made it 2,700 and Cawley got out of the action. Pagano though was undeterred in position, made the call and they saw a heads up flop of . Eskeland led out for 4,500 and Pagano mucked.
The next hand saw Cawley make it 200 under-the-gun leading to a cascade of callers taking a six way flop of . Checked round to Pagano he bet 700 and found one caller in French PokerStars player Roman Wieviorka. The two players saw a turn card and Pagano check called a 1,200 bet from Wieviorka. River card completed the flush draw and some straight possibilities as Pagano led for 2,000. Wieviorka thought about it and called, Pagano showing for two pair. No good though as Wieviorka had the for the straight. “Wow.” Said Pagano as he undoubtedly went back through how the betting had gone.
