Collins Cracks Sardini's Aces

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Three-way to a flop of 8♦9♥3♥, Stephen Collins led out from the big blind with a bet of 800. Razvan Dolcan called in the hijack before Gavin Sardini bumped it up to 3,500 on the button.

Collins called, leading Sardini to get out of the way and fold his hand. The remaining duo then checked the 7♠ turn to the J♠ river, where Collins checked again.

Sardini tossed in a small bet of 2,000, which Collins called after some thought. Sardini tabled A♥A♦, but the preflop nuts were no good against the 8♥3♣ of Collins, who was awarded the pot with his flopped two pair.
