Cole Picks Up Aces to Double
Brandon Mueller raised to 50,000 in middle position and Elan Chabi called in the hijack. The flop came K♣Q♣3♥, and Chabi snap-folded as soon as Mueller reached for chips. Mueller showed K♠K♥ for top set as he took the pot.
Chabi then raised to 40,000 in middle position and Brian Cole three-bet to 140,000 in the small blind. "Do you want me to call? I know you have aces over there," Chabi asked Cole.
"Not the way you're running," Cole replied.
"Okay, I'll see a flop and thread lightly," Chabi added as he called. The flop came 9♠7♦4♥ and Cole moved all in for 160,000. "I'll call with my gutter. I have too much money in there," Chabi said.
Brian Cole: A♠A♣K♠6♦
Elan Chabi: K♦Q♥J♠8♠
The board ran out 5♥8♣, and Cole's aces remained in the lead to earn him the double up.
