Speranza Doubles After a Major Sweat
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
Gianluca Speranza was all in preflop for about 12,000 when we got to his table, with 
in the small blind against Xu Wang (middle position) and his 
. The 
flop was a happy sight for Speranza but the 
turn was not as he now needed to improve. The river brought the 
, giving him a winning pair.
Speranza is coming off of a runner-up finish at WSOP Europe in November.
