Apicella Lucky to Double
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Austin Apicella open-shoved for 90,000 from under the gun, and Brock Parker called in the big blind with 
. It was an awkward race as Apicella showed 
for two overs, and Parker extended his lead when the flop fell 
.
Apicella was still live with two backdoor draws, and the 
on the turn kept him alive. Any nine or four on the river would give him a straight, and it was the 
that completed the board to give him said straight.
He miraculously doubled to 190,000 chips, while Parker is still very healthy with 850,000.
