Ace High is Good for Cialella
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Kevin Roche raised to 2,500 from under the gun, and was called by James Cialella in early position, and the big blind Michael Lombardi.
The flop came Q?Qx4? and Lombardi checked to Roche, who bet 2,700. Cialella called, and Lombardi folded.
Both players checked after the 2? on the turn, and 9? on the river.
Cialella tabled A?J? for ace high, which was good enough to take the pot as Roche mucked his hand.
