Murciano Holds to Double Off Serra
Level 28
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Alvaro Murciano raised to 320,000 in the cutoff and Michaelangelo Serra called on the button, as did big blind Angel Perez.
Action checked to Serra on the A♣J♣10♥ flop and he bet 600,000. Perez folded, while Murciano called to see the 8♠ turn. Serra then moved all in and Murciano called for his last 580,000.
Murciano showed Q♥Q♣ and needed to hold up against Serra's 9♣8♣ for straight and flush draws. The 9♦ river improved Murciano to a straight as he earned the double up.
