Gesto Finds a Lifesaving Heart on the River
Level 10
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
A player opened to 3,200 from the cutoff and Antonio Gesto was the lone caller on the button. The flop came K♠5♥2♦ and the initial raiser continued for 7,000. Gesto made the call.
On the 4♥ turn, the cutoff fired a second barrel for 17,000. Gesto responded by moving all-in with a stack of blue chips, putting his opponent to the test. The call came quickly.
Cutoff: K♣K♥ 
Antonio Gesto: 8♥6♥
Gesto needed either a heart or a seven to take down the pot. The river delivered both in the form of the 7♥, completing his flush and earning him a pot worth close to 190,000 chips.
