CPPT Event #1 (Flight 1B): Tony Mucci Scores The "Triple-Double"

2018 Card Player Poker Tour (Isle Casino Pompano Park)
Event #1 | $360 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD)
Level 11 (Blinds 800/1,600/1,600)
Total Flight 1B Entries: 98
Flight 1B Players Remaining: 32

The triple-double is a great thing in basketball, but it's also a solid tournament stat-line, as Tony Mucci just learned over at Table 1.

At the halfway point of Level 10, Tony Mucci (Boca Raton, FL) was all-in for 7,000 pre-flop, and ended up getting called in two spots.  After the K♠ 7♠ 7♣ flop, one of his active opponents bet out, eliciting a fold from the third player in the hand.  Tony quickly turned over A♠ K, and would eventually win the hand, besting his opponent's K♣ 10♣.

Less than fifteen minutes after Mucci's triple-up, he'd be all-in pre-flop once again (for 23,400), and this time called by Raminder Singh.  The action would fold behind, and the cards would find their backs:

Mucci: 10 10♣
Singh: A J♣

Runout: K♣ Q♠ 9♠ J 8

When the jack hit the turn, Mucci looked dejected, but quickly noticed that the card made him a straight.  When no ten showed up on the river, Tony secured the double...after the triple...giving him the ever-elusive triple-double.

Tony Mucci - 50,000 (31bb)
