Minten Reluctantly Calls His Way to a Double
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Heads-up on a board of 7♣8♣2♦9♣, Niek Minten bet 17,500 from the button before Javier Acinas moved all in from the big blind. Minten struggled with the decision for a minute, then shrugged his shoulders and committed his last 48,000.
Acinas turned over A♥A♣, but Minten had 8♥8♠ for a set. The river was the 5♣ and Minten doubled up.
"No slowroll," he reassured Acinas.
