Gordo Secures Early Double
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Christian Rotundo opened to 4,000 and Atilla Saracoglu three-bet all in for 46,000. Guillermo Gordo four-bet all in for 36,000.
It folded back to Rotundo who mucked.
Guillermo Gordo: Q♠Q♣ 
Atilla Saracoglu: A♥Q♥
The flop was the eye-catching 7♣7♦7♠ which did open up the possibility of the cruellest of outcomes, should the final seven turn up. And although the J♦J♣ runout gave both players a full house, Gordo's was best and he doubled up.
