Portaleoni Leaves Tou Short-Stacked
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Tom Dwan opened to 30,000 from under the gun and got a call from the player in the next seat before Taiwan's Ta-Wei Tou made it 195,000 from the hijack. Rodrigo Garrido Portaleoni was in the cutoff and shoved for around 250,000, which got Dwan and the caller to fold, but Tou made the call.
Rodrigo Garrido Portaleoni: A♠K♦ 
Ta-Wei Tou: A♥Q♦
Tou needed a lot of help but he never found it as the runout of 4♥3♦7♥8♣2♦ kept Portaleoni's Big Slick in the lead throughout the hand.
