Aerts Spikes a One-Outer to Take a Big Chip Lead
Level 17
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Rob Yong raised to 320,000 in middle position and was called by Pieter Aerts in the cutoff, as well as Jean-Robert Bellande and Biao Ding in the blinds.
The flop came Q♦3♠3♣ and Bellande led out for 400,000. Only Aerts called.
Bellande bet another 1,600,000 on the J♦ turn, and Aerts again called. The river was the 9♠ and Bellande bet 2,500,000, but this time Aerts came back with an all-in shove for 5,890,000.
Bellande took a few minutes before calling with Q♠J♣ for two pair, but Aerts had J♠J♥ for a full house to win the massive pot and take over the chip lead.
