Aces Play it Safe

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

The action was picked up with 6,400 in the pot and two players heading to a flop.

Khossein Kokhestani checked the action from early position over to Igaal Hanouna on the button, who bet 2,600 on the monotone 4Q5 flop. Kokhestani flicked in a call.

The turn 5 paired the board, and both players checked.

Completing the board, the J saw both players check again.

Kokhestani flipped over Q8 for top pair, which was no good versus the AA of Hanouna.
