Efaraimo Double Through Pignatelli
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
A player in middle position opened the action with a raise to 2,500 and New Zealander Jack Efaraimo, sitting to their direct left, three-bet to 7,500.
Ryan Pignatelli cold four-bet all-in from the big blind and after the original raiser got out of the way Efaraimo called so fast his chips left skid marks on the felt.
Jack Efaraimo: 
Ryan Pignatelli: 
Efaraimo was ahead and as the at-risk player, he needed to stay that way to survive.
The board ran out 
and a visibly elated Efaraimo fist pumped and scooped in the pot. Pignatelli had over 250,000 at the start of the hand and took the hit good-naturedly, tapping the table and dropping to around 190,000 while Efaraimo climbed over the six-figure mark with a stack of 110,000.
