Gironda Rockets Upwards
Vincent Gironda just claimed a huge pot to surge up over the half-million chip mark and increase his lead. The hand began with three players �� Ronnie Bardah, Terrence Chan, and Gironda �� all contributing four bets before the flop, with original raiser Maria Ho stepping aside.
Heavy betting through the 
flop and 
turn left just Bardah and Gironda battling. Then when the 
fell on the river and Gironda led with a bet, Bardah looked to the ceiling in exasperation before making a crying call. Gironda tabled 
, and Bardah winced as he mucked, that river clearly appearing to have snatched the large pot away from him.
