Pignataro Flips to Double-Up
Level 30
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Luigi Pignataro shoved all in for 2,100,000 in the hijack. The action folded to Gary Tatavarti in the big blind, who quickly called to put Pignataro at risk.
Luigi Pignataro: 8♥8♦ 
Gary Tatavarti: A♣9♠
The K♠K♣Q♦ flop brought some counterfeit outs for Tatavarti, but neither the 6♥ turn nor 4♠ river improved his hand as Pignataro doubled up to roughly 18 big blinds.
