Double Knockout for Fragale as Poker Gods Oblige Demands
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Cards were on their backs and stacks were in the middle, with Marius Gicovanu all-in for around 90,000, as was Nicusor Matei for a similar stack, with Antonio Fragale just covering both players.
Marius Gicovanu: K♣9♦ 
Nicusor Matei: A♥5♥
Antonio Fragale: Q♥8♣
Matei was ahead but Fragale was confident of his bounty taking abilities, requesting a queen from the dealer, who duly obliged on the Q♠3♣2♥ flop.
Fragale wasn't satisfied however, and requested another, shouting "Queen, Queen, finish it!".
In remarkable fashion, the Q♣ hit on the turn, and Fragale started punching the air in delight, the 3♠ river completing the board.
