Aces for Aboussaad
Level 2
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
There was 36,000 in the middle in a side pot on a flop of J♠6♥4♠, with Alejandro Ruiz in the cutoff and Youssef Aboussaad in the small blind the active players, while Alexandrakis Stergios was all-in and competing for a tiny main pot of 5,000.
The flop was checked to the 4♦ turn, where Aboussaad fired out a bet of 2,500, which failed to dispose of Ruiz.
The 3♣ river completed the board, and Ruiz folded to a further bet of 5,500 from Aboussaad.
Aboussaad tabled A♠A♦ for two pair, and Stergios sent his cards to the muck despite him being all-in. Ruiz stated he had ace-king.
