Iannantuoni Spikes River to Double via Verhaegen
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Wim Verhaegen opened to 2,500 from the cutoff and Andrea Iannantuoni defended his big blind.
On the J♦5♦3♥ flop, Iannantuoni check-called versus a bet of 1,800 from Verhaegen.
The 4♦ rolled off on the turn, and Iannantuoni changed approach, jamming for 22,500, and receiving a snap call from Verhaegen.
Andrea Iannantuoni: 6♠5♣ 
Wim Verhaegen: 4♣4♠
Iannantouni had second pair fives with the up and down straight draw, but needed to make the straight to overcome Verhaegen's turned set of fours.
The 2♦ river completed the board to give Iannantuoni the six-high straight and double-up, and he slammed the table in an enthusiastic celebration. Verhaegen barely reacted when the river hit.
