Pugh-Jones Finds a Call to Leave Aleksic on Fumes
Level 23
: Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Gruffudd Pugh-Jones limped in on the button before Filip Aleksic raised to 1,000,000 in the small blind. Pugh-Jones called, and they went heads-up to the K♥8♦8♣ flop.
Aleksic then bet 800,000 and Pugh-Jones called. The turn was the 4♠ and Aleksic bet another 1,300,000. Pugh-Jones again called.
The 5♠ fell on the river and Aleksic bet 6,600,000, leaving just 50,000 behind. Pugh-Jones tanked for a minute before flicking in a chip to signify a call, and Aleksic showed A♠5♣3♠3♣. Pugh-Jones turned over 9♥9♣8♠6♠ for trips to win the big pot, leaving Aleksic with just two 25,000 chips in his stack.
