Cuesta, Cappiello Dodge Their Ways to Doubles
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ignacio Cuesta moved all in for 50,000 from the big blind and Patrick Gaonach put him at risk in early position.
Ignacio Cuesta: K♥K♣ 
Patrick Gaonach: A♦J♣
Cuesta was ahead with his kings, while the Q♣10♥9♠ flop gave Gaonach a straight draw. The 5♦ turn was safe for Cuesta, while the river came the 10♦ and he doubled up.
At another table, Roberto Ghidini had opened to 4,000 in early position and Roman Stoica called in the cutoff. Candido Cappiello then moved all in for 42,500 in the big blind and only Ghidini called.
Candido Cappiello: 9♥9♦
Roberto Ghidini: A♦K♦
The 10♦10♠8♦ flop gave Ghidini the nut flush draw to go with his two overcards, but Cappiello improved through the 7♣ turn and J♠ river to a straight and doubled up.
