Volcovschi Doubles with Queens
Level 27
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Martino Cito opened to 65,000 from under the gun and received calls from Georgi Dangel in the small blind and Martino Cito in the big blind.
The flop came 10♥9♦3♣ and action checked around to Cito who bet 125,000. Dengel called before Volcovschi moved all in for 435,000. Cito rejammed and Dengel got out of the way leaving Volcovschi all in and at risk.
Diana Volcovschi: Q♥Q♣J♥7♥
Martino Cito: A♣J♣8♣8♥
Cito had a pair of eights and open-ended straight draw while Volcovschi was well ahead with an overpair and bigger straight draw. She remained ahead on the 4♣6♠ runout to collect more than a full double up while making a small dent in Cito's stack.
