Gargiulo on a Heater
The pot stood at 4,300 with two players looking at a full board reading 8♣5♣3♣A♣4♥.
The big blind checked the action to Joey Gargiulo in the cutoff who bet out for 5,000. The big blind was deep in the tank before finally folding, flashing the 7♣ as they did so. Gargiulo showed 5♥2♦ for a straight he'd turned into a bluff, folding out the better hand.
The very next hand Gargiulo raised from the hijack to 600, the player in the cutoff three-bet to 1,800 and Gargiulo called.
The flop came Q♣2♥8♦ and Gargiulo checked then called a bet of 1,600 from his opponent.
The 10♦ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time the cutoff sizing up to 3,200.
The river fell the 3♠ and the hand checked to a showdown. Gargiulo tabled 9♦8♠ for a pair of eights, which was good enough to win a second pot in a row.
