Queen on the River Scores Liantonio Double Knockout
Giuseppe Liantonio raised to 33,000 under the gun and Brian McKain called off his remaining 32,000 followed by Michael Uguccioni, Hector Zayas, and Jarred Solomon, going five ways to the flop.
When the dealer fanned a flop of J?7?3?, Solomon checked and Liantonio continued for 80,000. Uguccioni jammed his entire stack of 261,000 in the middle and the action folded back to Liantonio who made the call before all three live hands were on their backs.
Brian McKain: A?10?9?8?
Michael Uguccioni: J?J?9?5?
Giuseppe Liantonio: Q?Q?8?8?
All three players had a piece as McKain flopped a wrap and nut-flush draw, while Liantonio flopped a gutshot and flush draw to go with his overpair and Uguccioni flopped the nuts with top set.
The 7? paired the board, giving Uguccioni a full house but the Q? river improved Liantonio to queens full to eliminate both players and scoop a massive pot.
