Normand Wakes Up With Aces, White Exits
Level 20
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
After an open by Moe Tokko, Derek Normand three-bet to 195,000 but then Jake White moved all in for close to 500,000.
After some thought, Tokko decided to let it go but Normand quickly called to put White at risk.
Jake White: A♣10♦
Derek Normand: A♠A♥
The flop of Q♦K♥2♦ gave White some hope with a gunshot straight draw and even picked up more outs as the turn 6♦ gave him a flush draw. Alas, the river was the brick Q♠ and White shook hands with Normand before he headed to the exit.
