Cucchiara Runs Into a Bigger Pair
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Frank Cucchiara, who gave away a Main Event seat to one of his social media followers, has himself entered the tournament here on Day 1d, but just dropped a pot to take an early hit.
Cucchiara and Anderson Huang went heads-up to the 6♠Q♥5♣ flop where Cucchiara checked, Huang fired out 2,600, and Cucchiara called.
Both players checked the A♣ turn as the Q♦ fell on the river. Cucchiara checked again.
"Okay," Huang said as he checked behind. Cucchiara turned over 9♣9♠, but Huang had 10♠10♣ for the win.
"That was lucky," Huang said as he dragged in the pot.
