Cupello Crippled By Queen in the Window

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Justin Truesdell shipped his stack into the middle and, with a stack slightly larger than that of his opponent, Franco Cupello made the call. Cupello flipped up his {A-Spades}{9-Clubs} and was in the lead against the {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} held by Truesdell.

Both players stood as the dealer prepared to reveal the flop, and when Cupello saw the {Q-Spades} was the door card, he exclaimed "right in the window, of course!" The final board read {Q-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and with that, Cupello is left with only a few thousand chips, while Truesdell has chipped up to nearly 165,000.
