Howard Wins a Monster Pot, La Cava Eliminated
Level 20
: 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Gareth Howard opened the action with a raise to 120,000 from under the gun. Once it was the turn of Alessandro La Cava in the big blind, he called.
The dealer spread a flop of 7♦6♣9♦, and fireworks followed.
La Cava checked, seeing Howard continue for 155,000. La Cava then check-raised all in for 1,400,000. Howard looked back at his cards, got his phone ready to record, and called.
Alessandro La Cava: 10♦9♣ 
Gareth Howard: 6♠6♥
The turn A♥ kept things as they were, and although the river 9♠ improved both players, crucially, Howard had a full house, seeing him scoop the massive pot, leaving La Cava eliminated.
