Cappiello Flips For Survival
Level 24
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Luigi Pignataro raised to 125,000 in the cutoff and Candido Cappiello three-bet to 500,000, leaving 300,000 behind. Pignataro then moved all in.
Cappiello turned around to look at the tournament clock. "How good is your hand?" he asked Pignataro.
"How many minutes do you want to take?" Pignataro replied. Cappiello only took around one before he called.
Candido Cappiello: K?10? 
Luigi Pignataro: 8?8?
The 10?9?7? flop gave Cappiello top pair, while Pignataro picked up a straight draw. The 2? turn was safe for Cappiello, while the river was the 7? as he secured a double up.
