A Good Call Goes Unrewarded

Nichoel Peppe opened with an early-position raise to 40,000. In the cutoff seat, Adam York reraised to 150,000, and Peppe made the call to see a flop.

It came down {J-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {3-Clubs}, and after a check from Peppe, York moved all in for his last 247,000. Peppe would consider for a good while before making the call to put her opponent at risk.

Showdown
Peppe: {4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}
York: {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}

And what a call it was! Peppe was in the lead with her pair of fours, and York was two cards away from elimination. The turn was a blank {5-Spades}, but somehow the {Q-Spades} ripped off on the river, drawing a deathly gasp from the table and the rail alike. York improved to the pair of queens, good enough to earn him a come-from-behind double up to 840,000. Peppe has slipped back to 920,000 after that tough beat.
