Brignone's Ace-High is Good
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Gaetano Brignone opened to 4,000 from the cutoff and Oleksandr Romanets defended his big blind.
Both players checked on the 7♦9♣5♠ flop and Brignone called a 3,500 bet from Romanets on the 7♣ turn.
The 3♦ completed the board and Romanets bet 6,000. Gaetano tanked a bit before sticking in a call and Romanets showed 10♣6♣ for a busted club and straight draw.
Gaetano tabled A♦2♦ and claimed the pot with his ace.
