Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante

"Yes! Come on!"

We know what Filippo Candio's celebrations sound like by now, and we snapped around to see him shoot out of his chair and take a little celebratory strut in between the tables with his lavender massage pillow in his arm. On the table, there was a board showing {7-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {6-Diamonds}, and the gentleman in the two seat had pocket aces out in front of him on the felt. We're not sure when the money went in -- it was before the river from the sounds of it -- but Candio's {4-Clubs} {5-Hearts} ran down the straight to earn him the knockout and the near-double. He's back up to 70,000 now, just about where he began the day before an early slide.
