Gagliano Triples Up
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Anthony Gaughan raised to 2,500 from the cutoff, and Robert Elkin called from the button. Antonino Gagliano then went all in for 5,800 from the big blind, after which Gaughan four-bet to 11,000.
Elkin still came along, creating a side pot on the 5♣Q♠8♥ flop. Both players subsequentially checked before Elkin was the first to bet on the 7♣ turn. Gaughan quickly check-folded, leading to a showdown between the other two players.
Antonino Gagliano: K♠K♥
Robert Elkin: 6♥6♦
Gagliona was still ahead with his overpair, but Elkin had an open-ended straight draw. The 5♦ river paired the board, however, resulting in Gagliano tripling up to a stack of 19 big blinds.
