Zappia Doubles Through Sutherland

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Robert Sutherland opened with a raise to 65,000 and Nathan Zappia moved all in from the cutoff for 255,000. Action folded back to Sutherland who called.

"I can't fold this one," Sutherland said. Players at the table knew what he meant, as he was holding his favorite hand.

Robert Sutherland: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}
Nathan Zappia: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

His favorite hand was dominated though and he couldn't catch up as the board ran out {8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and with that, Zappia doubled up while Sutherland took a small dent.
