Son's Aces Turn into a Straight
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Petr Son made it 16,000 to go from under the gun with Ma calling from the next seat, and Adrian State defending his big blind.
State checked first on the 2♥4♠3♦ flop, and Son threw out a bet of 17,000. Ma immediately raised to 50,000, which only Son called.
The 9♥ turn and 5♥ river checked down and Ma turned over 7♦7♣ for a pair of sevens. However, this was second best to the A♦A♣ of Son for a straight.
