Hand #175: Giannetti Doubles Back

Level 40 : 600,000/1,200,000, 200,000 ante
Matt Giannetti
Matt Giannetti

Pius Heinz had the button. Matt Giannetti open-shoved for 6.750 million under the gun, and the table folded around to big blind Martin Staszko. When he looked at his cards, his eyes immediately shot upward as if he had a decision to make. He asked for the count, then made the call.

Showdown
Giannetti: {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}
Staszko: {Q-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}

Well, the news was good for Giannetti, and he'd hold serve on the {3-Hearts} {8-Spades} {4-Hearts} flop. The turn came the {4-Clubs} to pair the board and provide a few chop outs for Staszko, but the {J-Hearts} sent the double to Giannetti.

He's still the low man on the totem pole, but he's back to 14.4 million and still has a fightin' chance here tonight.
