Di Giacomo's King-High Enough
Level 16
: 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Action was on the flop on a board of 2♦J♦8♦ with around 30,000 in the pot. Michael Aviv pushed all in with a short stack of just 13,000 and told his opponent, "You can fold, you know!"
Claudio Di Giacomo didn't fold, instead opting to throw in his chips to make the call. Aviv flipped over 9♣7♣ for nine-high with a gutshot draw, while Di Giacomo had K♠9♠ for king-high.
The turn was the Q♥ and river the Q♣ and Di Giacomo held to win the pot, sending Aviv to the exit as the bubble quickly approached.
