Tantillo Scores Double Knockout After Brutal Cooler

Nível 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante

Fausto Tantillo recently surpassed one million chips after winning a massive pot that resulted in the elimination of two players.

According to the players at his table, Damir Gabdullin moved all in for 45,000 from late position and Tony Aziz shoved over the top for 190,000. Tantillo, covering both players, made the call in the big blind.

Damir Gabdullin: 4x4x All in
Tony Aziz: K♥K♣ All in
Fausto Tantillo: AxKx
