DiStefano Turns a Chop Into a Double Up

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Vito DiStefano
Vito DiStefano

Neal Liptak opened under the gun for 50,000 and Dylan Cechowski called from the seat to his left. Vito DiStefano shoved all in for his final 405,000 from middle position and it folded around to Liptak, who also folded. However, Cechowski called off with his stack in excess of two million.

Vito DiStefano: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Dylan Cechowski: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

As luck would have it, they both had the same hand. However, DiStefano was freerolling on a flush draw after the {6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop.

As if DiStefano was at a craps table, he repeatedly called for his diamond: "Come on diamonds! Come on diamonds!"

Sure enough, the {3-Diamonds} popped up on the turn and he let out a full roar that the rest of the Bally's ballroom could surely hear.

The {j-Spades} completed the board and DiStefano took his stack from 405,000 to 910,000 on the very first hand of the day.
