Iannantuoni Spikes River to Double via Verhaegen
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Wim Verhaegen opened to 2,500 from the cutoff and Andrea Iannantuoni defended his big blind.
On the J?5?3? flop, Iannantuoni check-called versus a bet of 1,800 from Verhaegen.
The 4? rolled off on the turn, and Iannantuoni changed approach, jamming for 22,500, and receiving a snap call from Verhaegen.
Andrea Iannantuoni: 6?5? 
Wim Verhaegen: 4?4?
Iannantouni had second pair fives with the up and down straight draw, but needed to make the straight to overcome Verhaegen's turned set of fours.
The 2? river completed the board to give Iannantuoni the six-high straight and double-up, and he slammed the table in an enthusiastic celebration. Verhaegen barely reacted when the river hit.
