Pitta Smacks the River to Stun Streltsov
Level 14
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Claudio Pitta raised to 50,000 under the gun and Ilia Streltsov called in the hijack.
The flop came J♠10♠6♦ and Pitta bet 25,000. Streltsov then raised to 100,000, Pitta moved all in, and Streltsov called for 410,000.
Ilia Streltsov: J♦J♥ 
Claudio Pitta: K♥K♦
Streltsov had outflopped Pitta's kings with top set as the Q♠ turn gave Pitta some outs to a straight. The river was the A♦ and Pitta completed his straight as he shot out of his seat, while a stunned Streltsov stood by the table as the dealer counted out the stacks before making his exit a few spots short of the money.
