Pahlawani's Aces Survive Scary Board
Level 5
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
PLO Grand Slam regular Aaron Pahlawani had just taken his seat when he three-bet an open from Daniel Birkmose to 28,500 in the cutoff. Birkmose called to the 4♠3♦6♦ board, which checked through.
Birkmose bet 30,000 on the 5♥ turn, eventually being called by Pahlawani. The players checked the Q♥ river to showdown, where Pahlawani showed a hesitant Birkmose A♠A♣8♣5♣ to win the pot.
