Lopez Slows Down Gigauri
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Elguja Gigauri raised to 100,000 in the cutoff, Joseph Lopez moved all in for 280,000 in the big blind, and Gigauri called.
Joseph Lopez: A♦K♣
Elguja Gigauri: K♦10♥
"This is the one you're going to lose," tablemate Spyros Malkotis told Gigauri. The flop came [Jd8s8dh], while the K♥ turn gave both players two pair. The river was the Q♦, and Lopez took the pot with his ace-kicker to earn the double up.
"Straight," Gigauri joked.
"Yeah, straight out of the door," tablemate James Calderaro replied.
