Gotuzzo Makes a Big Call Against Saaskilahti; Foggin Wakes Up With Aces
Around 500,000 was already in the middle when Lauri Saaskilahti and Hugo Gotuzzo went to the turn on a board of J♥2♠8♥9♦. Gotuzzo then bet 500,000 from the big blind, and Saaskilahti called on the button.
Gotuzzo checked the 9♥ river and Saaskilahti bet 500,000. Gotuzzo used up several time banks before he stood up from his chair and tossed in a chip to signify a call.
Saaskilahti turned over J♦10♦, but Gotuzzo showed A♥A♣ as he walked to the rail and looked up to the ceiling in relief as the massive pot was pushed in his direction.
At another table, Marc Foggin was all in for around 1,400,000 from the cutoff and up against Thomas Eychenne in the big blind.
Marc Foggin: A♥A♦ 
Thomas Eychenne: A♠K♠
Foggin was on the right side of the big cooler, and the board ran out 7♥5♦3♦4♠Q♥ to earn him a double up.
