Di Nicola Doubles Through Stroke
Level 28
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Shawn Stroke opened to 125,000 from the cutoff, and Ermanno Di Nicola called from the big blind.
On the A♦A♥4♥ flop, Di Nicola checked and Stroke sized down to 75,000. Di Nicola moved all in for 375,000 and Stroke called after getting a count.
Stroke's head immediately dropped as he saw Di Nicola had trips with A♠5♥ while Stroke had K♠Q♦ for king-high.
The 3♥ turn and 2♦ river improved Di Nicola to a wheel and he doubled up.
