Baraza Spikes River
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Juan Baraza opened to 16,000 from early position and Aleksei Savenkov defended in the big blind.
On the Q♠5♣2♣ flop, Savenkov check-called versus a bet of 13,000 from Baraza.
The 8♠ turn followed the same pattern, this time in respect of a bet of 35,000 from Baraza.
The A♦ river was then checked through. Savenkov tabled Q♣9♥ for second pair queens, but Baraza had A♣K♥, sending him the pot with the rivered pair of aces.
