Gusmao Hits the River, Then Picks Up Aces

A player in middle position was all in for 60,000 as Cristian Nagaki called in the small blind. Pedro Gusmao then reraised to force out Nagaki and leave himself heads-up with the all-in player.

All-In Player: A♣K♣ All in
Pedro Gusmao: A♥Q♣

Gusmao was dominated as the board came 9♥3♣8♠J♠, but he spiked the Q♠ on the river to send his opponent to the rail.

The next hand, Gusmao three-bet to 55,000 in the small blind and Jose Barbosa moved all in from the big blind. The initial raiser folded in the cutoff, while Gusmao snap-called for 350,000.

Pedro Gusmao: A♦A♠ All in
Jose Barbosa: A♥K♥

Gusmao showed down aces as he was on the fortunate end of a massive cooler. The board ran out K♠9♥J♠8♠A♣ and Gusmao improved to top set on the river to earn the double up.
