Rizzo Spikes the River to Double
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Thiago Crema raised to 40,000 in the hijack and Daniel Rezaei called in the cutoff, as did Fausto Martello in the small blind. Leonardo Rizzo then moved all in for 250,000 in the big blind and Crema folded, but Rezaei reshoved to chase away Martello.
Leonardo Rizzo: Q♦4♣ 
Daniel Rezaei: K♠Q♥
Rizzo was dominated and at risk as the flop came 9♣6♣5♠. The 7♦ turn gave him some outs with a straight draw, and Rizzo hit the 3♦ on the river to make his straight.
"Pow, pow, pow!" he shouted out as he doubled up.
