Meisser Cracks Asgoudakis' Aces
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Following an open raise to 2,100, Emmanouil Asgoudakis called and then Marco Meisser three-bet to 6,500. The original raiser folded and Asgoudakis called.
The flop came 9♠K♦3♦. Asgoudakis checked, Meisser bet 3,100, and Asgoudakis check-raised to 9,000. Meisser shoved all in and Asgoudakis called with the shorter stack of 19,700.
Asgoudakis flipped over K♥Q♣ for a pair of kings, but Meisser showed A♣A♠ for pocket aces.
The turn, however, fell the Q♠ to give Asgoudakis two pair. The river was a blank, the 6♣. Meisser held to win the pot and double up his stack.
