Brutal For Bruno

Before the flop, Aaron Wild moved all in for 11,500 with {A-Hearts} {8-Spades}, and he was called down by Bruno Portaro, who tabled {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts}.

The flop was about as good of a miss as Wild could hope for, as it showed up {9-Spades} {5-Spades} {7-Diamonds}, giving him an open-end straight draw. The turn got him there the rest of the way as the {6-Diamonds} filled in that straight. Just for good measure, the {10-Diamonds} on the river gave him a six-card run, earning him a double up to 24,000. Portaro was knocked back to 40,000.
