Gianluca Speranza Living in the Tank

The Casino di Venezia is the location where we saw the longest ever heads-up match in World Poker Tour history when Alessio Isaia and Szabolcs Mayer fought it out for over eight hours in Season IX, and we might have also just seen the longest hand!

We are at the turn on a board of [Ks] [7s] [4d] [Jc], Lauri Pesonen bets 27,000 and Gianluca Speranza makes the call. The river card is the [Th] and Pesonen quickly puts 75,000 over the line and Speranza tanks for a good ten minutes before eventually folding his hand.

Pesonen ~ 290,000
Speranza ~ 210,000
