Schmidt Sends Aido Packing With Ace-High
Level 10
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
With around 140,000 in the pot on a board of 8♥7♦10♦3♠, Fabian Schmidt checked from the big blind before Sergio Aido moved all in for 75,000 from the button.
Schmidt went deep into the tank before eventually deciding to call and put Aido at risk.
Sergio Aido: A♣9♣
Fabian Schmidt: A♥Q♥
Schmidt held only ace-high, although he was ahead of Aido's inferior ace-high with a straight draw.
The 2♥ river changed nothing, and Schmidt's hero call with ace-high brought Aido's tournament to an end.
