Alessandro Natale Wins an Epic Pot with Pocket Queens

The feature table is always very interesting, however, this one even more so seems to be full of action.

A pair of Italians just battled it out. The action began innocently enough with Italy's John Catena raising to €7 with {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. From one seat over, Federico Drassich called with {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} before his neighbor Alessandro Natale three-bet to €40 with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}.

Play folded back around to Catena who fired out a four-bet to €120. Drassich folded before Natale five-bet to €310 and Catena called.

Catena hit top pair on the {4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop, but was still behind the pocket queens of his opponent who fired out for €195.

Catena called and was in trouble and drawing dead after the {Q-Diamonds} hit the turn. He called an all-in bet to create a huge pot worth €1,600, which was shipped to Natale after the {10-Hearts} completed the board on the river.
