Scoop of Gelato

Forza Italia

Stud 8/b

John Juanda: ({x-}{x-}) / {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades} / ({x-})
Michele Limongi: ({x-}{x-}) / {6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} / ({x-})

John Juanda completed with the {a-Diamonds}, and Michele Limongi called with the {6-Hearts}. Juanda led on fourth street, Limongi called, and then checked when he paired on fifth. Juanda bet, and Limongi called.

Limongi led out for the first time on sixth, Juanda called, and then Limongi led blind on seventh.

"Take it easy Mr. Juanda," Limongi warned him. "That's if you want to win another bracelet."

"I think you have a full house," Juanda sighed.

The 2011 bracelet winner made the call, and turned over {a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for aces up. Limongi tabled {3-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for a worse two pair, before finally sweating his last card; the {4-Spades}. It was an incredible card for the Italian, giving him a straight and a low for the scoop.
