Ray Qartomy

Bryan Piccioli opened with a raise in middle position, and Ray Qartomy three-bet shoved for 74,000 on the button. Piccioli called to put him at risk.

Piccioli: QhJh
Qartomy: AcQs

The Jd9d7c flop was a disaster for Qartomy, and he shot out of his chair. “Are you serious?!”

The turn was the blank 7c, and Qartomy pleaded for help.

“Ace!” he pleaded. “Ace, for god’s sake! One time!”

He got it. The river was the timely Ad, and Qartomy celebrated his double-up with some additional noise.

From the adjacent table, Kenny Ngyuen joined in the ruckus. “Hey, I’m supposed to be the loudest guy!” he said. “Not you.”

Ray Qartomy – 168,000 (21 bb)
Bryan Piccioli – 285,000 (36 bb)
