Di Cicco Catches an Ace on the River to Stay Alive
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Jamila Von Perger, one of a handful of women remaining in the field, opened for 6,500 from the cutoff only to have Massimo Di Cicco three-bet all in for 65,900 from the button. The blinds both folded and Von Perger thought long and hard before making the call.

Von Perger: 
Di Cicco got it in good, but the 
flop gave the lady a pair of queens. The 
turn meant Di Cicco needed either a deuce or ace on the river, and he found the latter as the 
spiked to extend his tournament life.
