Apicella with Queens
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Anthony Apicella raised to 2,100 from under the gun. The hijack, Omar Del Pino on the button, and the big blind called.
On a flop of 9♠3♥9♦, everybody checked to Del Pino, who bet 2,800. Apicella called, while the two other players folded.
Del Pino fired a second barrel of 8,500 on the 6♦ turn. Apicella check-called once again to find the 4♠ river that he checked. Del Pino checked back, only to discover that Apicella had Q♥Q♦ to win the pot.
