Aguirre Cracks Markov's Set
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action was on the flop on a board of 8♣10♦J♣ and it was checked to Anton Markov, who bet 3,500. Francesco Macri called in the small blind, then Hector Miguel Henkel Aguirre check-raised to to 15,000.
Markov moved all in for 44,900, Macri folded, and Aguirre pushed his chips in the middle to make the call. Markov had J♠J♦ for a set of jacks and Aguirre had A♠9♥ for ace high with an open-ended straight draw.
The turn came the Q♥, which completed Aguirre's straight. The river was the 5♠ and Aguirre held to win the pot, cracking Markov's set and sending him to the rail.
