Anderson Takes a Big Hit Losing to Ace-High

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Neeraj Madhvani raised to 4,600 under the gun and Calvin Anderson called from middle position. Joao Ribeiro came along from the big blind and three players took a flop of {7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. Ribeiro checked, Madhvani bet 7,600, and both his opponents called to see the {6-Spades} turn.

Ribeiro checked for a second time, Madhvani moved all in for 51,200, and Anderson thought for a bit before making the call. Ribeiro folded and the cards were turned up.

Madhvani: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Anderson: {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Madhvani was bluffing but was technically ahead with ace-high. However, Anderson was drawing to two live cards, clubs, and an open-ended straight. Amazingly, he missed when the {5-Hearts} blanked on the river and Madhvani's ace-high won him the pot.
