Flush Over Flush Benefits Pilkington; Ricci Building Early Stack
Antonio Romeo opened the action to 600 from early position and was called by Pascal Frezza and Markus Sturz from the cutoff and button respectively. Jessica Pilkington, who was in the big blind, also matched the preflop raise.
Romeo continued for 800 on the 
flop and was called by Sturz and Pilkington. Action then checked to Sturz on the 
turn who bet 2,200. Pilkington quickly raised to 6,000 which put off Romeo while Sturz tagged along.
Pilkington, with 18,500 behind, led out for 15,000. Romeo then jammed to put Pilkington to the test but was snap-called.
Pilkington rolled over her 
for a king-high flush and bested her opponent's 
.
On an adjacent table is Andrea Ricci who has also had a fruitful start to the day. The Italian was spotted dragging in a small pot to bring his chip count to around 57,000.
