The Big One For Giannetti!

Matt Giannetti
Matt Giannetti

First into the pot from middle position, Matt Giannetti raised to 220,000, and he found a call from Hilton Laborda on the button. The two men went off to a heads-up flop, and the dealer spread out {Q-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {6-Clubs}. Giannetti continued out with 300,000, and Laborda made the call. On the {9-Diamonds} turn, Giannetti slowed down and passed the action over to his opponent, and Laborda took his cue to bet 420,000. Giannetti called there, and he checked again on the {9-Hearts} river. Laborda was not going anywhere, and he made a big pot-sized bet of 2 million. After some time in the tank, Giannetti check-raised all in for 5.26 million, and Laborda made a pained call.

Showdown
Giannetti: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}
Laborda: {K-Clubs} {9-Clubs}

It was a big cooler, and Giannetti's set improved to the winning full house on the river. It gives him a huge double to 12.63 million, knocking the remaining Brazilian down to 3.48 million.
