Agüero Hits A Straight To Double Up
Level 9
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Francisco Benitez opened from under the gun to 5,500, and all the other players folded to Sergio Agüero in the big blind who counted his stack, then three-bet to 18,000.
Action back to him, Benitez moved all in, and Agüero called with his last 50,000 chips.
Sergio Agüero: A♣K♥
Francisco Benitez: K♦K♣
The flop J♠7♥10♦ gave a straight draw to Agüero, which was completed with the turn Q♦. But after the river 7♦, "Kun" was ready to leave. He obviously didn't see the straight that saved him. When he realized that, he took a deep breath and scooped the pot.
