Moschitta Spikes the River for Big Triple

We just saw a huge hand take place that inspired a celebration so boisterous that the entire room, including the €2,000 side event, grew eerily quiet.

It began when Eric Nhouyvanisvong opened for 22,000 and received a call from Micah Raskin in the cutoff. Luca Moschitto of PokerStars Team Online then moved all in from the small blind for 296,000. Nhouyvanisvong made the call, and then Raskin opted to move all in himself for 499,000 total. Nhouyvanisvong thought long and hard before making the call.
