Garibaldi Rivers the Nuts
Juan Garibaldi raised to 205,000 in early position, and then watched as action folded to a player in late position.
The player in late position responded to Garibaldi’s raise by moving all in for his remaining 1,075,000.
The players at the button and blinds got out of the way, putting action back on Garibaldi, who asked for a count. The dealer confirmed the count, and Garibaldi, who started the hand with 2,200,000 called to put his opponent at risk.
All-In Player: 4♠4♣ 
Juan Garibaldi: K♠Q♦
The dealer fanned 10♣J♥2♠ on the board, giving Garibaldi a gutshot straight draw.
The 3♣ on the turn kept Garibaldi’s opponent in the lead, but the tables were turned when A♣ arrived on the river to give Garibadi a straight and a knockout blow.
“The nuts,” a player at the table commented.
