History was made in the opening event of this Fall Poker Open series, as Stephanie Hubbard became the first female player to ever win an opening BPO event, but history will not be made at the end of this FPO series. That’s because Giuseppe Pizzolato’s run towards a third FPO title just ended in 13th place, after his rivered flush was beat by Henry Lu’s turned full house.

The hand was picked up on a board of {Ac}{4c}{3c}{3d}{9c}, with Lu checking and Pizzolato betting what looked to be 197,000. Quickly, Lu announced himself “all-in” and after some thought, Pizzolato called only to see that his flush, with {Kc}{Qs}, was no good.

That’s because Lu turned over {4h}{4s} for a turned full house and the unfortunate river was gin to get Pizzolato to commit his entire stack. With two wins under his belt already, Pizzolato certainly won’t be complaining as he adds another $13,500 to his FPO haul.

When the dust settled, the pot moved Lu up near the top of the FPO Championship leaderboard, with those updated counts coming when this field heads on a short break.
