Tantillo Stuns Jalba on the River
Level 8
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Around 30,000 was in the middle as Eusebiu Jalba and Fausto Tantillo went to the turn on a board of 2♠7♥5♣6♦. Jalba then bet 16,700 from the button before Tantillo moved all in for 107,000 in the small blind.
Jalba tanked for several minutes until the clock was called. He ended up calling to put Tantillo at risk and turned over 9♠7♠ for top pair, while Tantillo had A♣Q♣ for just ace-high.
Jalba was poised for the knockout going to the river, but Tantillo spiked the A♠ as Jalba slammed the table in frustration before handing over most of his chips.
