Xu Makes the Most of Aces
Level 24
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Anthony Xu just played aces to perfection and took down a chunky pot against JP Rounce-Sue.
Xu opened from the hijack to 160,000 and Rounce-Sue defended his big blind to see a flop of 7♦2♣7♣. Rounce-Sue checked and Xu continued for 100,000, then Rounce-Sue check-raised to 275,000. Xu called.
A 3♥ dropped on the turn and Rounce-Sue bet again, this time for 325,000, and again Xu called.
When the 7♥ put a third seven on board, Rounce-Sue checked it over to Xu, who fired out 1,100,000, leaving himself around 100,000 behind. Rounce-Sue went into the tank for some time and tinkered with the decision before he finally decided to call.
Xu then revealed the rockets with A♠A♣ and Rounce-Sue mucked.
