Salvatore Ritrovato opened to 3,500 UTG. Gabriel Dinu (Button) and Victor Azanon (Big Blind) both made the call.

The flop was 5♥Q♦2♥. Azanon checked, Ritrovato bet 3,600, Dinu called, and Azanon folded. Ritrovato bet 8,500 on the 3♠ turn, and Dinu swiftly called. On the 5♠ river, Ritrovato wasted little time before forcing Dinu all in for 28,600. Dinu made the call just as fast.

Salvatore Ritrovato: 9♥8♥
Gabriel Dinu: Q♣J♥

Dinu’s gut feeling was right all along, and he more than doubled up.

Gabriel Dinu: 71,000
Salvatore Ritrovato: 37,000
