Marco, Pole, Low
Marco Leonzio just played two hands in a row, winning a small one but then losing a slightly larger one.
Both times Leonzio was the initial aggressor. First up, he opened to 180,000 and Roberto Romanello decided to give him a spin from the small blind. After a promising start, though, they proceeded to check down the board. Leonzio turned over for a rivered pair, and it was good enough to win the pot.
Next hand, Leonzio raised under the gun and this time Marcin Horecki called in the big blind. Horecki check-called 220,000 from Leonzio on the flop and then checked again on the turn. Leonzio checked behind this time, looking suddenly completely uninterested in the hand, and they saw a river. Horecki now very carefully counted out a 430,000 bet and pushed it across the line. Leonzio duly folded, and Horecki got the pot.
Horecki's roller coaster ride continues - he's at 3.55 million now. Leonzio is at 4.5 million - still in second place, but the lowest he's been all day.
