At the PokerStars Open of champion, those who are usually behind the microphone, took advantage of it for a fleeting apparition at the table. Alberto Russo sat at the main event of the new European live circuit and his hand was on everyone’s mouth. Let’s see this crazy crossroads
The first stage of the PokerStars Open of Campione d’Italia seems destined to remain in the record book. The guaranteed prize pool of one million euros was more than doubled. Among the protagonist actors there was also the commentator of the live EPTs. Alberto Russo’s hand is the classic hands of hands in the hair
The return to the Grandealba table
–
Those who played for a long time cannot fail to hear the call of the table. In our interview with Luca Pagano, the new manager of the Room Live in Campione d’Italia has declared that he will return to participate more constantly in the tournaments. His new role “puts him back in the hall” and it is hard to be just watching. The same thing also happens to those who have other roles in the world of poker such as Alberto Russo. The ‘poker voice’ keeps us company in long lIVs between EPT and PokerStars Open Together with the inseparable microphone colleagues: Giada Fang and Pier Paolo Fabretti. A few weeks ago all three found themselves in that of Campione d’Italia for the first stage of the new live circuit. For them too the call to the table was natural. The good ‘grandialba’ was unable to go on, thanks to the hand we are going to tell you. Epic clash, definitely written at the start but with some strategic reflection to do
Alberto Russo’s hand: a Slowplayato Cooler
–
We are still in Early Stage at the PokerStars Open and the darks are 300/600 with 600 of doors. Alberto has more or less 18k in chips. The whole table passes and he is the best starting hand: a♥ TO♠of course, a relaunch at 1,300 from Middle Position arrives. Everyone passes except the player on the Big Blind. The flop recites t♣ T♥ T♠ And both players opt for check. At the turn it drops an 8♥ which probably does not change the balance. Big Blind makes Check again and Alberto decides to continue with the slowplay knocking in turn. The dish cries but we are ready for fireworks. A “blank” is also released at River, or an insignificant card (a classic 2 that does not move). Great darkness comes out, aiming for the equivalent of the dish. Grandealba replies by putting them all in the middle. The call with BB arrives showing the T♦ (together with a J) and Alberto is a player out. It is clear that we are faced with a Cooler, nothing to say obviously on the final outcome but it is always useful to see the ‘how’ you get to put them all in the middle. Often with AA we tend to Slowplayare at least one road hoping that our opponent will find something. Knocking twice, although the hand is written (but we know in the end) does not lead to the increase in the dish. The more substantial the pot, the more difficult it will be for our opponent to give it a light heart. In addition, pointing at least one road makes us unpredictable. Remember that varying your game is essential. Think of the different Hand Starting that BB could have: it could check raise in white at the flop or call without points to the turn and then go out at River. Obviously the final outcome would not have changed for Alberto Russo
