Giardina Gets a Big Double
Level 15
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Sherman Wu opened to 12,000 under the gun and was called by both Rocco Palumbo in the hijack and Michael Giardina in the small blind. The flop came 
and Giardina checked to Wu, who made a continuation-bet of 13,000. Palumbo folded and Giardina check-raised to 29,000.
"How much do you have left?" asked Wu. Giardina pushed his stack forward so that it was visible to his opponent, who then announced he was all in. Giardina called.
Michael Giardina: 
Sherman Wu: 
"Holy shit," said tablemate Eddy Konarske after seeing Giardina call correctly with a pair of treys and a gutshot. Giardina faded the six outer on both the turn 
and river 
and scored a huge double, taking him above a quarter-million as nine-handed play continues.
