Tarango Sends Dimaiuta to the Rail
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
With 18,600 in the pot three players saw the dealer produce a flop of J♥4♦5♥. Billy Tarango checked from the small blind, and Tarun Golati checked from under the gun. Michael Dimaiuta bet the pot from the cutoff, and only Tarango called.
Tarango immediately jammed for 40,000 when he saw the A♠ hit the turn. Dimaiuta called with slightly fewer chips and the cards were revealed.
Michael Dimaiuta: A♦9♣8♥6♦ 
Billy Tarango: A♣5♦4♣2♠
Tarango was in the lead with two pair, and the 5♠ river improved him to a full house. The pot was pushed to Tarango and Dimaiuta was out.
