Muccini Catches Big Double-Up
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Davide Muccini and Eusebiu Jalba had created an 86,000 pot when the turn was dealt on 5?J?3?8?. Muccini then checked from the small blind before Jalba made a bet of 37,000 from the big blind. Muccini came out with a raise to 95,000 and Jalba called after a little thinking time.
The J? river then paired the board and saw Muccini revert to a check. Jalba then pushed all in, covering the 145,000 chips Muccini still had in his possession.
A snap call followed and Jalba tabled K?K? for an overpair. However, it was greatly outclassed by the full house of Muccini, who played J?8?. Jalba slammed the table, but it could not prevent the massive pot being shipped Muccini's way.
