Good Call for Fiorentin

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

According to the table, the cutoff raised to 500 and picked up calls from the button, the small blind, and Enrico Fiorentin in the big blind to create a four-way pot.

The flop appeared 2?3?7? and Fiorentin led out for 1,300. Only the button and the small blind called. Things heated on the K? turn. It was checked to Fiorentin, who bet 3,700 this time, and it folded back to the small who jammed for 13,700.

Fiorentin, with slightly more chips, went deep into the tank and eventually called for the following showdown:

Small Blind: 3?4?
Enrico Fiorentin: 6?7?

The A? river didn't change anything and Fiorentin took down the pot with a pair of sevens, eliminating his opponent in the process.
