Mooney Rivers an Ace to Double Through Schmidt
Level 19
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Action was picked up with Geoffrey Mooney all in for roughly 1,000,000 from the big blind against Fabian Schmidt in early position, who had Mooney covered.
Geoffrey Mooney: A♥J♣
Fabian Schmidt: K♥K♦
Mooney was in rough shape against Schmidt's pocket kings, and the 4♦8♣2♣ flop offered little help.
The 9♥ turn left Mooney needing an ace on the river to survive, and that is exactly what arrived as the dealer dropped the A♦.
Mooney paired his ace at the last possible moment to crack Schmidt's kings and secure a huge double-up.
