Saka Decimates Gallo
Level 36
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Gianluca Gallo raised to 800,000 in the hijack and Alain Saka called on the button, as did big blind Xhavit Berisha.
The flop came 8♥Q♠7♥ and Gallo continued for 725,000. Only Saka called to see the 5♥ turn.
Gallo then checked and Saka fired out 1,200,000. Gallo tanked for several minutes until calling as the 3♣ fell on the river.
Gallo checked again and Saka bet 3,000,000 this time. Gallo once more took a few minutes before sliding in a call holding A♠Q♣ for top pair. Saka, though, turned over A♥10♥ for the nut flush to win the massive pot.
