Rinaldi Coinflips to Victory

Claudio Rinaldi opened for 140,000 under the gun only for Dermot Blain to his immediate left to make it 375,000 to go. Michael Piper in the big blind was interested enough to ask Blain how much he had behind - answer: 1,750,000 - but folded. Back to Rinaldi.

Rinaldi dwelled up and stared at Blain's cards as though he might suddenly acquire the power of x-ray vision if he just wanted it badly enough. Then he announced all in. Blain called without asking how much it was.

Rinaldi: {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}
Blain: {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds}

Board: {A-Spades} {5-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}

Rinaldi's all in had been for over 1.1 million and he doubled to 2.4 million. Blain meanwhile was left with just a shade over 1 million.
