Annette Mucci Defies the Odds to Double Up

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Annette Mucci shoved from early position for 20,000 and got a call from Kuixian Zhu in the small blind.

Annette Mucci: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Kuixian Zhu: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. There was an ace right on the flop to shoot Mucci into the lead, and the hand held to yield an eventual double-up to crack the kings of Zhu.

“What are the odds of that?” a delighted Mucci wanted to know.

“About twenty-five percent.” someone said.

“More than that,“ another player said. “Kings are an aces magnet.”
