Scary Chop
Feb 14, '14
A chopped pot is usually something that does not involve a huge adrenaline rush, but we’re sure both Hammouda Bassioni and Joshua Miller had a elevated heart rate throughout the following showdown.
Bassioni and Miller ended up all in before the flop creating a pot just shy of 100,000 chips when the following cards were turned over.
Bassioni: K
K
Miller: K

The flop brought Q58 and all of a sudden Bassioni had a good chance to take this pot down. The turn, the 3 and the river, the 5, did however not change the outcome and the pot was ultimately chopped.

Benedetto Bianco Busts Bassioni Hammouda
Feb 16, '14
On a board reading 6 6 10 9 A, Benedetto Bianco bet 15,000, and Bassioni Hammouda shoved for 55,000 total. Bianco thought about it for a bit before making the call to put his opponent on the edge of his seat.
Hammouda sheepishly turned over 8 8 and was no good against 8 6, which was trips. The pocket eights had been turned into a bluff.
Bianco raked in the pot to move to well over 200,000 in chips.
