Botticello on the Ropes Early On
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Three ways to the 3♣3♥2♣4♦Q♥ river with around 8,500 in the middle, John Botticello in the big blind bet 7,000. Andrea Salamone then raised to 19,000 from under the gun and Michael Sukonik on the button folded.
"Do you really have queens full?" Botticello asked and didn't get any answer. He tanked for more than a minute before he called and was shown the 4♠4♣ for fours full of treys, mucking his cards thereafter to drop to a severe short stack in the first level.
