Delatorre Delight

[user80015]

Dan Delatorre called an early position all in from the big blind and tabled {A-Spades}

to be ahead of his opponents {A-Clubs}

.

The board ran out {2-Spades}

to see Delatorre dispatch of another opponent as he soars to an impressive 470,000 in chips.

"Oh no . . . oh yeah! Ship it! I told you! Ship it!" screamed Adolfo 'Speedy' Gonzalez as he went bouncing from his table to running round in circles to hugging some curious onlookers.

Our PokerNews reporter quickly ran over to check out what had happened, and saw that Gonzalez was all in preflop holding {Q-Spades}

to his opponents {A-Diamonds}

.

The flop of {K-Hearts}

brought about the Gonzalez despair, but when the {Q-Hearts}

fell on the river after seeing the {2-Spades}

on the turn it sent Gonzalez into his excited dash around the Amazon room.

With everyone turning round and laughing at the level of excitement Gonzalez had reached, the Tournament Director wondered over and issued an Excessive Celebration penalty.

Oh, and it wasn't obvious, Gonzalez is one of a handful of chip leaders with 195,000 in chips.
