Here Comes Candio

We didn't catch the betting action, but we do know former November Niner Filippo Candio was all in preflop with {J-Spades}{J-Hearts} and in great shape to double against the {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} of Andrew Akash.

The ESPN cameras were on hand to catch the board as it ran out a fairly uneventful {5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{A-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, giving Candio the double. Not surprisingly, Candio was up out of his seat and celebrated a bit, albeit a bit more subdued than you may have seen on TV back in 2010.
