Mazza Makes it Happen On the River
Level 23
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Francisco Torrecillas has been on a heater to start the day and was looking like he was going to breach the one million mark until this last hand.
Torrecillas opened to 32,000 from under the gun and Mark Mazza moved all in for 296,000 from the hijack. Torrecillas snap-called and the players then turned over their hands, with Mazza at risk of elimination.
Mark Mazza: 
Francisco Torrecillas: 
The flop came down 
and Mazza said "Come on, jack!" The turn was not that as the 
landed, but the river indeed came the 
that Mazza was looking for. Torrecillas shook his head as Mazza's rivered straight took down the pot for a double-up.
