Guagenti Takes a Chunk from Tuhrim

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Nick Guagenti limped from under the gun and so did Tom West on from the cutoff. Richard Tuhrim raised to 13,200 from the button and Guagenti made the call. West folded and the flop came down {3-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.

Action checked to Tuhrim who potted for 32,400 and Guagenti then quickly moved all in for 68,200. Tuhrim called and then the players revealed their hands.

Tuhrim showed {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} for a pair of aces and Guagenti tabled {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a pair and straight draw. The turn was the {4-Hearts} and Guagenti now added to his already big pile of outs. The {5-Hearts} on the river was one of those outs as it gave him a flush and enough to double up through Tuhrim.
