Gioia Rocketing Ahead
Level 4
: 200/300, 300 ante

Meanwhile, at his old table, Phil Gioia appears to have been the recipient of a good chunk of that first bullet as he's now in the 80,000 range. He added to his room-leading stack when he bet 1,200, the size of the pot, on a 
flop from the button, and the small blind called him. Both players checked the 
and the 
, and Gioia's
