The river was the {10-Hearts} and was checked to Martini who bet 40,000.

Milano All In Against Gathy

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

In a preflop raising war, Ken Milano committed the rest of his stack from the big blind against Michael Gathy in the small blind. Gathy had Milano covered, and both players tabled their hands.

Ken Milano {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Michael Gathy {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Milano was in the lead, and when the flop came {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}, both players had flopped a set.

Gathy was after just one card in the deck, hoping for the case nine to make quads.

The turn was the {8-Clubs} and the river {4-Diamonds}. Milano doubled up and increased his stack with the better flopped set.
