Etcheverry Doubles Through Puccini To Take The Chip Lead
Level 18
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Mario Puccini opened from early position and Juan Etcheverry called from the button.
The flop fell 
and Puccini continued for 22,000. Etcheverry called to see the 
turn where Puccini bet 50,000. Another call from Etcheverry landed the 
river where Puccini bet 150,000. Etcheverry raised all in for 650,000 and sent Puccini into the tank for about three minute before he called.
Etcheverry tabled 
for an ace-high flush, Puccini mucked and Etcheverry collected the massive pot.
