Pitavy Takes a Big One With Ace-High
Level 3
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Around 180,000 was already in the pot as Emilien Pitavy and Matthias Lipp went heads-up to a flop of 8♣8♥Q♣. Lipp then bet 40,000 from the button, and Pitavy called in the small blind.
The turn was the 3♠ and Lipp bet another 130,000. Pitavy again called and checked over to Lipp on the 6♠ river, and Lipp checked back this time.
Pitavy turned over A♦K♠ for ace-high, and Lipp tapped the felt and mucked.
