Aleksic Begins His Spin-Up
Level 23
: Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Filip Aleksic put in his last 50,000 on the button and both Cesar Garcia and Gruffudd Pugh-Jones came along in the blinds.
The K♦Q♥3♦A♥3♠ board was checked down, and both Aleksic and Garcia showed jack-ten for a straight to chop the pot.
Aleksic was forced all in from the big blind the next hand, and Garcia and Pugh-Jones again checked down the A♥Q♠9♣Q♦9♥ board.
Garcia ended up with A♠9♦6♥3♦ for a full house, but Aleksic had a better full house with A♦K♥Q♣5♥.
"No way," Garcia said.
"What is happening?" Aleksic added.
