San Juan Hits the Turn, Triolo Spikes the River to Double
Level 6
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Nearly 20,000 was in the pot as Gaspare Triolo and Jon San Juan went heads-up on a board of 6♣9♦8♣J♠. Triolo then got his last 40,000 in the middle from the button and San Juan put him at risk in the hijack.
San Juan showed J♥J♦ for a turned set, while Triolo had Q♠Q♦. San Juan was poised to take the massive pot until the 10♠ arrived on the river, improving Triolo to a straight and earning him a double up.
