Alessandro Longobardi and Raul Mestre may not have known much about each other prior to today, but they are trying their very best to get familiar.

The table is three-handed when the button opens, Longobardi three-bets to 625, Mestre four-bets to 1,600 and only Longobardi makes the call.

Flop: [Kd] [9d] [5h]

Both players check.

Turn: [7d]

The Season X Venice Grand Prix runner-up bets 1,600 and a cool and collective Mestre makes the call.

River: [7c]

Longobardi bets 3,775 but Mestre raises to 11,200. Longobardi hates every second of the next minute, but does eventually fold.

Mestre ~ 37,000
Longobardi ~ 23,000
