Tantillo Makes a Great Call

Level 1 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Fausto Tantillo
Fausto Tantillo

Fausto Tantillo opened to 1,200 from the button only for Moritz Dietrich to three-bet to 5,000 from the small blind. Tantillo made the call.

The flop came 8?8?7?. Dietrich fired a 3,500 continuation bet only for Tantillo to raise it to 9,000. Dietrich made the call.

Both players checked the 5? turn leading to the K? river. Dietrich put in an overbet of 40,000, putting Tantillo in the tank.

After just over two minutes, Tantillo flicked in a calling chip. Dietrich could only show A?9? for a bluff while Tantillo tabled 10?10? to take down a massive early pot.
