Pocket Fives Salvation for Salvatore

Excitable Italian Salvatore Giovanni has doubled up to 15,000 courtesy of Masaaki Kagawa. With the flop reading {3-Clubs} {3-Spades} {9-Diamonds}, Kagawa bet out around 7,000, and Giovanni called all in.

Giovanni: {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}
Kagawa: a bluff-tastic yet still dangerous {Q-Clubs} {J-Spades}

Turn: {8-Diamonds}
River: {8-Spades}

Giovanni banged the table with such force and feeling that I thought for a moment he'd somehow lost the hand, but he had of course won it and got himself a full double up to stay in the game.
