O'Connell Doubles Through Amendola

The flop read {q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} when we arrived; Alfonso Amendola in the hijack had checked to Kevin O'Connell on the button, who bet 75,000. Amendola called, and they saw a turn.

The turn was the {a-Hearts} and Amendola peeked at his hole cards. "How much you play with?" he asked. O'Connell sighed and counted his stack, and then announced, "Three and a bit." Amendola went all in, O'Connell snap-called, and they turned their cards over.

Amendola: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
O'Connell: {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}

River: {6-Clubs}

O'Connell doubled to near 800,000. Amendola was reduced to just 240,000.
