Appel Scores a Fortunate Double

Christian Zetzsche

Niveau 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Hennie Appel moved all-in for 86,000 in the hijack and Nic Ioannoy called on the button, the blinds all folded.

Hennie Appel: Q♠8♦ All in
Nic Ioannoy: A♣J♦

Ioannoy had won several medium-sized pots to build a profit, but would lose most of it on the K♥Q♦2♥7♦K♣ runout as Appel survived.

"Why did you do it?" Ioannoy asked and some of the other players at the table laughed.
