Winschel Picks Up Aces to Double
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
A player in middle position raised to 20,000 before Thomas Winschel three-bet to 90,000 in the cutoff. His opponent then moved all in, and Winschel snap-called for 243,000.
Thomas Winschel: A♥A♠
Opponent: A♣K♦
The middle-position player hit a pair on the K♠3♠5♦ flop, but he improved no further on the 8♣ turn or Q♣ river as Winschel's aces held on to earn him a double up.
