Gierse Calls With Ace-High

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

In a blind versus blind pot, Marius Gierse checked on the flop of 2108 and Vinny Lingham bet 60,000. Gierse called.

Both players then checked on the 3 turn. Gierse checked once more on the 6 river and Lingham bet 70,000. Gierse called.

Lingham could only show K7 for king-high as Gierse rolled over AK to take the pot with ace-high.
