Hands #220-224: Messina Crippled by Cruel River

Level 36 : 200,000/400,000, 50,000 ante

Hand #220: Valentin Messina min-raised to 800,000 with {A-Spades}?{3-Clubs} and received a call by Jean Montury to see a flop of {10-Hearts}?{4-Clubs}?{8-Hearts}. Both players checked down until the {9-Spades} turn and {K-Spades} river to see Montury take it down with a pair of eights.

Hand #221: Montury limped with {10-Spades}?{8-Spades} and Messina checked out of the big blind with {Q-Spades}?{7-Clubs}. Again no action on the {3-Spades}?{K-Clubs}?{6-Diamonds} flop, the {3-Clubs} turn nor the {J-Spades} river and Messina's queen won the pot.

Hand #222: Messina min-raised with {K-Clubs}?{8-Diamonds} and that was all the betting action the hand provided.

Hand #223: Montury raised to 800,000 with the {2-Diamonds} showing. Messina called with {A-Spades}?{6-Hearts} and they checked the {9-Hearts}?{3-Clubs}?{10-Diamonds} flop. Messina bet the {6-Diamonds} turn for 900,000 and was called before the {5-Diamonds} river saw a bet of Montury. Messina mucked and the second hole card of Montury was revealed as the {K-Diamonds} to give him a flush.

Hand #224: Again a min-raise of Messina to see a flop of {A-Spades}?{7-Clubs}?{A-Hearts} and the initial raiser continued for 600,000 with the {A-Diamonds}?{Q-Hearts}. Montury called with {A-Clubs}?{9-Spades} and another large bet went in after the {6-Spades} turn for what looked like more than 3 million in chips.

With the {9-Clubs} as final community card, Messina led for what looked like 1.8 million and called the min-raise of Montury to see his far better hand get cracked and leave him with only 10 big blinds.
