Tantillo with Queen High
Level 4
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
After he won the $15,000 MPP High Roller a few days ago, Fausto Tantillo jumped in Day 1 of the $10,400 High Roller.
On a board of 3♥4♦9♣4♣, the Italian player called from middle position after Felipe Ketzer bet 57,000 from the small blind. Tom-Aksel Bedell, who was also involved in the hand, folded from the button at this point.
The A♦ came on the river and after using a time bank extension, Ketzer checked. Tantillo took his time as well, but eventually checked back.
"You win" Ketzer said while showing 8♣2♣ for a missed flush draw. Tantillo with Q♣J♣ was also hoping for clubs, but his queen high was enough to scoop the pot.
