Santos Steals Peluso's Stack

Fabio Peluso opened from under the gun to 6,000 and was called by Jon Vallinas Santos in early position. Action folded around to Johan Zeitoun who completed in the small blind.

The flop of J♠4♣Q♠ was checked by Peluso and Santos to Zeitoun, who bet 7,000. Peluso took a moment before electing to check-raise to 21,000. Santos went into the tank, so much so that the clock was eventually called on him by one of the players at the table.

Before the floor could get there, Santos clicked it to 37,000. Zeitoun slid his cards into the muck and Peluso put the rest of his stack in, roughly 20,000 more. Santos quickly called and had Peluso covered.

Fabio Peluso: K♠9♠
Jon Vallinas Santos: 4♠4♦

Peluso was drawing to a flush and a flush only. The 9♣ turn was no help, and the river 9♥ gave Santos a boat and sent Peluso to the rail.
