Treccarichi Expands Big Stack
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Stanislav Zegal and Walter Treccarichi had gathered 39,500 chips preflop when Zegal checked from the big blind on a J♥8♦4♣ flop. Treccarichi then made a bet of 15,000 and Zegal called.
On the 4♥ turn, Treccarichi fired 28,000 more after another check, and Zegal once again put in the same amount. The 5♠ river was then checked down and Zegal showed Q♠J♦ for top pair.
However, Treccarichi had him pipped with K♥J♠ for the same pair with a better kicker. He scooped up a big pot and ended up with more than ten starting stacks.
