Boat vs. Dingy

Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship

Peter Ippolito has 680,000 after hitting a stone cold miracle on the river.

Ippolito re-raised with A-A and Opponent called.

Opponent had pocket 5-5's and saw a flop of 10-10-5 for the full-house.

Opponent contained his excitement and checked. Ippolito bet, followed by a flat call.

Turn card - 2.

Opponent checked and Ippolito jamed all in.

Opponent tables 5-5 for the full house, felling good.

Peter is counting his outs when the Ace hits the river giving him the bigger boat.

To add another twist to the hand, Roslyn Quarto folded 10-5.

If she was in, all three would have had different full-houses.

When it rains it pours.
