Tantillo Pays Off Iaculli's Big River Bet
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Heads-up on a board of 2♦8♥3♠4♠, Gianfranco Iaculli bet 115,000 from the hijack and Fausto Tantillo called in the small blind.
The river was the 6♠ and Iaculli slid forward another 225,000. The two Italians spent a few minutes staring across the table at each other, Tantillo wearing a black hoodie over his head and Iacully with his grey sweater wrapped around his shoulders.
Tantillo tanked for around four minute before calling as Iaculli showed K♠J♠ for the rivered flush to take the massive pot and climb over 1,000,000.
