Candido Goncalves Doubled Up Through Luis Rufas

Candido Goncalves opened the action from under the gun, making it 85,000 to play, Thor Stang called from the button and Luis Rufas squeezed from the Small Blind making it a rather expensive 315,000 to play. Goncalves took his time before making the call and then Stang took even longer before finally making the lay down.

The flop was {7-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {j-Spades}

Luis Rufas shoved all-in and Goncalves called and we had a huge pot.

Rufas was in the lead with {q-Diamonds} {q-Hearts} and Goncalves needed an Ace of a Jack when he exposed {a-Hearts} {j-Diamonds}.

The turn was the {a-Clubs} and Goncalves banged the tabled with excitement and you could hear the moans from the Spanish contingent on the rail. Goncalves was physically shaking with emotion.

Only a river could save Rufas from taking a huge step backwards in this tournament.

The dealer flips over the river and it is the {j-Hearts}! "Yeah!!" Screams Goncalves as he makes his full house and takes a further 847,000 from the Rufas stack and is now a major player in this tournament.
