Aerts Gets Lucky
Level 21
: Blinds 50,000/1,000,000, 100,000 ante
Pieter Aerts jammed all in from the small blind for 1,260,000. Thomas Santerne sat in the big blind and threw in one time bank extension before making the call.
Pieter Aerts: 9♠8♠
Thomas Santerne: J♥8♥
Aerts was heavily dominated but flopped trips on 7♠9♣9♥. The 4♥ turn gave Santerne a flush draw in addition to his gutshot straight draw, but neither came in on the 2♠ river.
Aerts secured his double-up and leveled the playing field by just a bit.
