Giacchino Fires Big on the River
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
With 18,000 in the pot, Riccardo Gubser checked from middle position on the 4♣A♠9♠ flop, and Andrea Giacchino fired out for 7,000 from the button. Gubser continued with a call.
The 5♦ arrived on the turn and both players checked to see the K♣ completed the board. Gubser checked again, and while Giacchino was considering betting or checking, Gubserasked him, "Pocket queens?"
Giacchino didn't respond with words, but instead fired out a bet of 25,000, which resulted in Gubser instantly folding.
Another player at the table gave his opinion and said, "it wasn't queens, it smelled like kings!"
