Apicella Lucky to Double

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Austin Apicella open-shoved for 90,000 from under the gun, and Brock Parker called in the big blind with {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. It was an awkward race as Apicella showed {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for two overs, and Parker extended his lead when the flop fell {8-Spades}{6-Spades}{q-Diamonds}.

Apicella was still live with two backdoor draws, and the {5-Hearts} on the turn kept him alive. Any nine or four on the river would give him a straight, and it was the {4-Spades} that completed the board to give him said straight.

He miraculously doubled to 190,000 chips, while Parker is still very healthy with 850,000.
