Ruggiero Scommegna Eliminated in 2nd Place (€56,600)

Filip Verboven made it 160,000 to go and Ruggiero Scommegna called before check-raising the Belgian’s 150,000 continuation bet to 340,000 on a board of :::Qd:::5d:::2c.

Verboven made the call and they saw the  :::8c come on the turn, Scommegna moved all in and Verboven thought for a moment and then called!

Verboven: :::9d:::8d for a flush draw and second pair…

Scommegna: :::Js:::2s for bottom pair and needing to improve…

The river was the :::Qh and that was enough for Scommegna who was eliminated in second place.

The Italian will take home €56,600 by way of compensation after a truly grueling heads up battle.
