Zammataro Folds Queens to Avoid the Nut Flush
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
In a three-bet pot, Day 1a bubble-boy Nicolas Zammataro in early position bet 100,000 on 8♠5♦6♠ and Anthony Apicella under the gun check-called.
Apicella led out for 200,000 on the K♠ and Zammataro went into the tank for almost five minutes.
He eventually folded Q♠Q♥ face up and was right to do so as Apicella showed A♠5♠ for the nut flush.
