Tantillo Finds an Ace to Double

David Salituro

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Denis Stoma raised to 400,000 in the cutoff before Fausto Tantillo moved all in for 4,300,000 on the button. Nerses Sargsian reshoved in the big blind and Stoma open-folded two sevens.

Fausto Tantillo: A♦6♦ All in
Nerses Sargsian: K♣K♠

Sargsian had woken up with kings to leave Tantillo at risk, but the A♣Q♦6♥ flop gave Tantillo two pair and the lead. The rest of the board ran out 4♠7♦ and Tantillo doubled up.

"You win the tournament if you call," Anthony Khouzami told Stoma after seeing the seven on the river that would've given him a set.
