Table 8 Keeps Cracking Aces
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Kaido Mikk open-raised to 1,300 in the hijack, calling when Martin Zobel three-bet to 3,200 on the button. Zobel placed a continuation-bet on the J♥J♦7♦ flop, which Mikk check-raised to 5,500.
After confirming the amount, Zobel called to the 8♣ turn. Mikk moved all his chips in the middle, and Zobel quickly called off his stack of 11,500.
Martin Zobel: A♦A♣
Kaido Mikk: J♠10♥
Mikk had flopped trips to take a big lead over Zobel's aces, and he was upgraded to a full house on the 10♠ river to seal the deal and eliminate his opponent.
"That's the fourth time that happened on the table," Isabelle Winther noted, referring to Zobel's aces disappearing into the muck.
