Lamanna Makes Big River Raise
Pierpaola Lamanna opened to 180,000 from under the gun and was called by Sam Stein from the hijack.
The A♣2♠2♦ flop checked through to the K♠ turn. Lamanna thought over his options before deciding to check. Stein bet 260,000 and after some more thinking time, Lamanna called.
The J♥ completed the board and Lamanna checked for a third time. Stein reached into his stack and picked up 630,000 and placed it into the middle.
After a minute or so, Lamanna slid out a pile of T-100,000 chips and raised to 2,400,000.
Stein seemed exasperated at the spot and went into the tank himself. He agonized over his choices for quite some time. As the TV cameras began to surround the table, Stein found a call, and the cards were tabled.
Lamanna had 10♠10♣ for tens and deuces but was bested by the aces and kings held by Stein, who had A♦K♣.
