Pino Calls for His Card, Gets It on the River

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Matthew Pino was all in for around 90,000 with {4-Spades}{4-Spades} and was dominated by his opponent's {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

"Four, four, four," Pino chanted as the flop and turn came {9-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{k-Spades}. The {4-Diamonds} came on the river to give him a set and the double up.

"I was down to 1.5 big blinds at one point," Pino yelled as he climbed up to 200,000.

On the next hand, Pino moved all in over the top of a pre-flop raise and showed two kings when the original raiser folded.
