Di Nicola Puts Stroke in the Blender
Level 28
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Shawn Stroke opened to 140,000 from under the gun and called when Ermanno Di Nicola made it 350,000 from the button.
The A♦10♣9♥ flop checked through to the K♦ turn. Stroke check-called for 200,000.
On the 6♣ river, Stroke made a third check, and Di Nicola sized up to 400,000.
Stroke audibly groaned over the spot and began listing some of the hands he beat and the hands that beat him.
"Ace-six?" questioned Stroke but Di Nicola didn't budge.
Stroke began listing some more hands that Di Nicola could have which resulted in Stroke calling.
Di Nicola tabled A♠6♠ for two pair, aces and sixes and Stroke conceded the pot.
