Baraba's Ace Good at Showdown
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
With over 200,000 in the pot on a 9♣A♥6♥ flop, both Joshua Baraba from early position and Pankaj Gogia in the hijack checked to see the 3♥ hit the turn. Baraba checked again, then Gogia fired out 60,000. Baraba called.
A 6♦ completed the runout and both players knuckled the table where Baraba showed A♣J♣ for a pair of aces. Gogia couldn't beat that and mucked his hand, allowing Baraba to chip up to around 600,000.
