Pocket Fives Salvation for Salvatore

[user46392]

Excitable Italian Salvatore Giovanni has doubled up to 15,000 courtesy of Masaaki Kagawa. With the flop reading {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

, Kagawa bet out around 7,000, and Giovanni called all in.

Giovanni: {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{5-Diamonds}

Kagawa: a bluff-tastic yet still dangerous {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

Turn:

{8-Diamonds}

River:

{8-Spades}

Giovanni banged the table with such force and feeling that I thought for a moment he'd somehow lost the hand, but he had of course won it and got himself a full double up to stay in the game.
