Gesso Turns the Nuts vs. Givotovsky

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Arnaldo Gordon opened to 135,000 from under the gun, Gino Gesso called in the cutoff and Alek Givotovsky defended his big blind. The dealer spread out {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} on the flop and action checked to Gesso who bet 200,000.

Givotovsky check-raised to 510,000 and Gordon released his hand. Gesso moved all in for 1,075,000 total and Givotovsky called, tabling {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for top pair. "I only have a straight draw," said Gesso as he turned over {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for an open ender.

The {a-Hearts} instantly slapped down on the turn, completing the straight for Gesso as Givotovsky was now only drawing to a split. A {3-Clubs} river card was not that of a split and Gesso pulled in the pot for a complete double through Givotovsky.
