Sapiano Wins Back-to-Back Pot
Albert Sapiano is has just won back-to-back pots and is gaining in confidence. What the former honey importer lacks in skills and finesse he makes up with love for the game and natural passion.
Nick Clarke open-limped under the gun and Sapiano was next to act. Sapiano called, as did Alexander Schechter on the button and Praz Bansi checked in the big blind.
A flop reading 
was checked to Clarke who then bet 2,000. Only Sapiano called so it was heads-up to the 
turn. Clarke led again, making it 6,000 to play only to see Sapiano up the aggression and raise to 15,000. Clarke called and the dealer placed the 
on the river. Clarke reverted to checking and Sapiano checked behind.
Clarke: 
- for a pair of nines
Sapiano: 
- for a straight
Sapiano adds to his stack.
On the very next hand, Sapiano made it 1,600 to play from under the gun, David Gent called on the button and Nick Clarke called from the big blind. The 
flop saw a check from Clarke, a continuation bet of 3,500 from Sapiano, a fold from Gent and a call from Clarke. That was the last of the betting as both active playrs checked down the turn and 
river, Sapiano winning the pot with his 
.
"Every hand is like this," said Praz Bansi, "Nobody folds once it gets to the turn!"
"We're getting 15 hands per hour," claimed David Gent, "If you want to do some blogging just stay on our table!"
