Asadorian Stays Aggressive, Puts Massey to the Test

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Aaron Massey
Aaron Massey

Adam Asadorian opened for 6,500 on the button and was called by George Vazanellis from the small blind along with Aaron Massey from the big blind.

The {4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop was checked to Asadorian who continued for 6,500 getting called by Massey after Vazanellis folded.

Massey check-called Asadorian's 11,500 bet after the {9-Spades} came on the turn and the dealer completed the board with the {5-Diamonds} river.

Massey checked his option once more and Asadorian fired out 36,500 which was half of Massey's stack.

After careful consideration and a few glares, Massey mucked his hand and Asadorian raked in the chips.

Shawn Roberts: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Henry Zou: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The flop of {10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} was no help to Roberts but the {5-Hearts} turn gave him a wheel draw.

The dealer then dropped the {8-Hearts} on the river and Roberts sent 53,500 over to Zou.
