Horn Picks Up Aces to Double
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
The hijack raised to 2,500 before a player in the cutoff three-bet to 8,000. Simon Horn then four-bet to 19,200 on the button and the hijack folded, but the cutoff called to see the 10♦6♥8♦ flop.
"Sharon, I'm all in. Just don't have the nine-seven," Horn called out to his wife at another table as he moved all in for 31,500. The cutoff took a few minutes and eventually called to put Horn at risk.
Simon Horn: A♥A♠
Opponent: J♣J♠
"Brick," Horn pleaded as he was ahead with his aces and poised for a double up. The turn was the 2♠, followed by the 6♣ on the river. "That will do. Honey, I'm home," Horn said as he raked in the pot.
