Ace High is Good for Cialella

Tyler Boyer

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Kevin Roche raised to 2,500 from under the gun, and was called by James Cialella in early position, and the big blind Michael Lombardi.

The flop came Q♠Qx4♥ and Lombardi checked to Roche, who bet 2,700. Cialella called, and Lombardi folded.

Both players checked after the 2♥ on the turn, and 9♣ on the river.

Cialella tabled A♣J♣ for ace high, which was good enough to take the pot as Roche mucked his hand.
