Gagliano Battling Early

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Michael Gagliano has wasted no time getting involved on Day 2.

On a board of {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, Gagliano bet 13,000 from the cutoff when Asher Conniff checked to him out of the big blind. Conniff jammed for about 40,000 more, and Gagliano folded.

The very next hand, five players saw a {7-Spades}{a-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop for a raise. Action checked to Gagliano in the hijack, and he fired 9,500. Only the player on his right called. That played led for 11,000 on the {j-Hearts} turn and Gagliano called. Both quickly checked the {3-Hearts}, and the cutoff announced his hand but we couldn't hear it. Gagliano said it was no good, and his opponent nonetheless turned over {4-Spades}{3-Spades}. Gagliano showed {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} to take it with aces.
