Franco Pandolfino Chips Back Up

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

The player in the hijack raised to 800, and Jorge Postigo three-bet to 2,275. Franco Pandolfino four-bet to 5,200 from the small blind and got a call from the big blind. Both the hijack and Postigo folded.

The flop came {q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Pandolfino quickly checked. The big blind wasted no time and announced, "All in." Pandolfino only had about 7,000 chips behind, and he went into the tank. After about a minute, Pandolfino called.

Pandolfino stood up with excitement as the big blind tabled {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, because he held {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for a better pair.

The turn was the {7-Spades} and the river was the {k-Spades}, giving Pandolfino the double up he was looking for.
