Aerts, Borovkov Get It In Without a Pair
Level 20
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
"I used to watch you on TV eating. Now you're still eating, only I'm watching it live," Daniil Kiselev said to Patrik Antonius.
Meanwhile, Pieter Aerts had opened to 200,000 on the button and Alexey Borovkov called in the big blind.
The flop came 10♣9♥3♣ and Aerts bet 175,000. Borovkov then raised to 475,000, and Aerts moved all in for 1,370,000. Borovkov called.
Pieter Aerts: J♥8♥ 
Alexey Borovkov: 7♣2♣
Both players were on draws, but it was Aerts who ended up with a pair as the board ran out 4♦8♦ to secure him a double up.
"In your opinion, who was the best in those cash games 15 years ago? Sorry, second best after yourself," Kiselev continued the conversation with Antonius, and Antonius replied Phil Ivey.
