Mauro Stivoli Takes The Chip Lead

May 13, 2023

Action was picked up on the turn in a ballooning pot between three players with 36,500 in the center. 

Action checks to Amjad Nader on the button with a board reading Club ADiamond 10Diamond 5Club Q who bets 11,000 and Olav Are Grindberg calls in the big blind. In first position, Mauro Stivoli moves all in for 81,000 total and Nader calls for 51,000 while Grindberg calls having both players covered. 

Amjad Nader: Heart AHeart 9
Mauro Stivoli: Spade AHeart Q
Olav Are Grindberg: Club 10Diamond 10

Grindberg’s set of tens held the lead and he looks good to scoop a massive pot until the Diamond Q gives the lead to Stivoli with queens full of aces. Nader exits the tournament and Stivoli takes the overall tournament lead. 

Mauro Stivoli – 255,000 (102 bb)
Olav Are Grindberg – 49,000 (19 bb)
Amjad Nader – Eliminated
