Michael Gagliano Doubles Through Jason Rivkin

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Eli Ross opened to 1,500 from middle position, Jason Rivkin called from the cutoff, and Michael Gagliano three-bet shoved from the big blind for 16,000. Ross folded and Rivkin tanked for about 75 seconds before he called.

Rivkin: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Gagliano: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

The flop came down {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, keeping Gagliano well ahead. The turn was the {J-Diamonds}, giving Rivkin plenty of outs with an open-ended straight-flush draw. However, the river was the {5-Spades}, safe for Gagliano to double up.
