Players Playing the Patience Game

Level 30 : Limits 120,000/240,000, 0 ante

The larger part of this level mostly showed very patient play from both players. Joseph Brodsky folded multiple buttons, including with Jx4x and 10x2x, while Nick Guagenti seemed to take Brodsky��s bets and raises seriously, often slowing down when Brodsky showed aggression. Few hands got to showdown, pots have been small and going both ways.

Guagenti has been the one that has managed to win a few more small pots overall. One of the few hands that were three-bet before the flop, Guagenti opened from the button and called Brodsky��s three-bet.

The flop came Q?J?9? and Brodsky contined. Guagenti raised the flop and Brodsky called.

The turn 3? and 2? got checked by both players and Brodsky announced ace high.

Guagenti showed 9?5? for a pair of nines and took down the pot.
