Van Gent Runs Kings into Aces

Dan O'Hair

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Cornelis van Gent opened from the cutoff and was three-bet by Matthias Auer in the small blind. Van Gent then shoved for approximately 100,000 total and Auer snap-called to put Van Gent at risk.

Cornelis van Gent: K♣K♥ All in
Matthias Auer: A♠A♣

It was a Hold'em nightmare for Van Gent, whose tournament life came to an end after the 7♥5♥5♦9♥J♣ runout failed to improve his kings against Auer's aces.

Sava Krink

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Matthias Auer opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 7,000, drawing calls from Espen Jorstad on the button and Peter Jaksland in the big blind.

The flop came 8♦7♣2♦, and the action checked through to Jorstad, who seized the opportunity with a bet of 8,000. Auer was the only one to continue, making the call.

The A♥ turn brought no additional aggression, as both players opted to check.

When the 5♠ hit the river, Auer took the lead with a bet of 10,000. Jorstad took his time to deliberate but eventually tossed in the chips to call. Auer revealed A♠A♦ for a dominating top set, leaving Jorstad visibly frustrated as he mucked his cards and the pot slid Auer's way.
