Gaona Hits the River to Double
Level 24
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Giovanni Giudice raised to 200,000 in the cutoff before Jose Gaona moved all in for 1,000,000 in the small blind.
"Can I have a count, because I'm pretty sure I'm calling?" Giudice asked the dealer, and he eventually called to put Gaona at risk.
Jose Gaona: A♣10♥ 
Giovanni Giudice: 6♦6♣
Giudice remained in the lead with his sixes as the board came J♠8♥4♦3♠, but Gaona spiked the 10♦ on the river and let out a big fist pump while his rail erupted in celebration. He apologized to Giudice for the reaction after the hand, while the chips were pushed over to him.
