Adi Rajkovic
Adi Rajkovic

Amir Redjeb limped from middle position and Jacob Amsellem limped along. Adi Rajkovic moved all in from the big blind for 17,000 and both other players called.

The flop came AJ3 and both Redjeb and Amsellem checked. The turn came the 4 and players checked again. The river was the J and players checked it back once more, unwilling to build a sidepot.

Players revealed their cards.

Adi Rajkovic: A9
Amir Redjeb: Q10
Jacob Amsellem: 108

Rajkovic had hit a pair of aces on the flop and that was enough to give him the pot and the triple up.
