Woods Made to Pay For Slow-Playing Aces Against Thiriart

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Arthur Thiriart
Arthur Thiriart

John Woods limped in from the small blind and Arthur Thiriart checked his option from the big blind.

On the J♠8♦K♠ flop, Woods bet 1,000 and Thiriart made it 2,800 to go. Woods snapped back with a three-bet to 7,000, then Thiriart shoved. Woods called off his stack of around 18,000.

John Woods: A♥A♦ All in
Arthur Thiriart: K♣8♥

Woods had elected to slow-play his aces, but that allowed Thiriart a free look at the flop. There was still a chance for Woods to survive as he picked up more outs on the 4♣ turn, but the 7♠ river was a brick, and he hit the rail.
