Strassman Serenelli Slaughter
Nov 16, '08
On a board of A102, Strassman bet 1,000 and Serenelli raised to 3,500. Strassman called.
The turn fell the 4. Serenelli immediately went all in and Strassman insta-called.
Serenelli flipped over A3 and Strassman showed A10.
There was still hope for the Italian however in the form of a 5, but the river dropped the 8 and Serenelli was busted by Strassman's two pair.
Strassman moves on up the ranks.

Sorry for Sorel
Nov 15, '08
With little action to the river, and a pot of 1,300 in the middle, drastic action broke out between Marino Serenelli and Sorel Mizzi. The board showed J8423 and Mizzi bet 1,150. Serenelli announced, "all in". Mizzi who had him covered, (but not by much), took his time to think about it. He played with his chips, watched his opponent, and sweated it out. Finally, he threw the chips in. Serenelli eagerly flung his cards on the table, celebrating in Italian as he raised his hands in the air. His A5 had made a straight and Mizzi was down to 750. Always the gentleman, Serenelli put a halt to his celebrations to gather himself, turn to Mizzi and say, "Sorry."
