Tantillo Scores Double Knockout After Brutal Cooler
Level 13
: Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante
Fausto Tantillo recently surpassed one million chips after winning a massive pot that resulted in the elimination of two players.
According to the players at his table, Damir Gabdullin moved all in for 45,000 from late position and Tony Aziz shoved over the top for 190,000. Tantillo, covering both players, made the call in the big blind.
Damir Gabdullin: 4x4x 
Tony Aziz: K♥K♣
Fausto Tantillo: AxKx
Aziz was a massive favorite with top set on the Kx8x3x flop and needed to fade only running aces or running fours to scoop the pot. Tantillo got exactly what he needed when the rest of the board ran out AxAx to send both opponents to the rail and soar to the top of the chip counts.
