Ellis Cracks Aces For a Knockout
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Kevin Ellis and an opponent went to the turn on a board of 6♣5♦J♥9♥ and around 25,000 already in the pot. The small blind then bet 12,000, Ellis moved all in from the cutoff, and his opponent called for his last 40,000.
The at-risk player showed A♣A♦, but Ellis had J♣J♦ for a set. The river was the Q♥ and Ellis took the big pot to send his opponent to the rail.
