Tantillo Pays Off Iaculli's Big River Bet

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Gianfranco Iaculli
Gianfranco Iaculli

Heads-up on a board of 2?8?3?4?, Gianfranco Iaculli bet 115,000 from the hijack and Fausto Tantillo called in the small blind.

The river was the 6? and Iaculli slid forward another 225,000. The two Italians spent a few minutes staring across the table at each other, Tantillo wearing a black hoodie over his head and Iacully with his grey sweater wrapped around his shoulders.

Tantillo tanked for around four minute before calling as Iaculli showed K?J? for the rivered flush to take the massive pot and climb over 1,000,000.
