Plozza Below the Starting Stack

[user38873]

Nível 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

A hefty pot of more than 30,000 played out over in the corner section of the Salle des Etoiles and the decent start of Moreno Renzo Plozza was canceled out entirely, as he dropped below the starting stack. He clashed with Fulvio Barbisan and his flopped top pair with was no good against for an overpair on the board.

Plozza was not happy at all about how the hand played out and said so in table chat. Barbisan jumped above the starting stack and the chip leader on that table is Sergio Castelluccio.
