Santichio Blows the Dealer a Kiss
Level 4
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
With around 25,000 in the pot on a flop of 3♣6♣2♥, Antonio Santichio bet 21,000 from early position and an opponent on the button called.
The turn was the 10♠ and Santichio moved all in. His opponent quickly called for his last 60,000, turning over Q♣Q♥. Santichio had been caught making a move with A♦J♥ for just ace-high, but he caught the A♥ on the river to send his opponent to the rail.
Santichio let out a loud yell in celebration, then blew a kiss to the dealer to thank her for the fortunate ace as he collected the big pot.
