Aces Good for Motta
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Fabio Motta opened to 700 in early position and was called by Malik Mauriello in the next seat, while Carlos Dos Santos defended his big blind.
On the Q♣7♣8♦ flop Dos Santos checked and Motta slid out a bet of 1,700. Mauriello folded and Dos Santos called.
On the 2♠ turn Dos Santos check-called a bet of 4,100 from Motta.
The river brought the 4♣ and both players checked their option. Dos Santos showed Q♠5♠ for top pair of queens, which was no good versus Motta's A♠A♣ for the overpair.
