Tanaka Adds More After Cracking Aces

Dan O'Hair

Level 18 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Trung Nguyen opened to 120,000 from under the gun and was called by Kei Tanaka in the small blind.

Tanaka check-called a 105,000 bet from Nguyen on the 5♣J♠7♣ flop and then both players checked on the 4♥ turn.

Tanaka bombed 600,000 into the pot after the J♦ filled out the board and Nguyen quickly called.

Tanaka showed 5♦5♠ for a full house and Nguyen showed he held A♦A♣ for cracked aces before they were sent into the muck.
