Giannoukos Calls Out Portaro's Hand

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Jim Giannoukos

Andrew Theakstone started the action by opening to 1,200 from early position, with Bruno Portaro and Jim Giannoukos defending the small and big blind respectively.

The 376 flop was checked by all to see a J turn. Potaro bet 1,500 and Giannoukos quickly called. Theakstone folded leaving the blinds to battle it out heads up on the 6 river.

Portaro bet 5,000 and Giannoukos went into the tank. He called out "Did you hit that jack?". After around 3-minutes, he flicked in a 5,000 chip to call and Portaro tabled his AJ. Giannoukos slammed his card onto the table, face down and remarked "That f***ing jack", as his hand was mucked.
