Aoki Doubles With the Better Ace
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Nobu Aoki, sitting at the same table as sister Mikiyo, raised to 5,000 in early position and an opponent in middle position three-bet to 15,000. Aoki then moved all in for 55,000, and his opponent snap-called.
Nobu Aoki: A♥K♠
Opponent: A♣Q♠
Aoki had his opponent dominated going to the flop, which came 8♣10♠J♣. Both players picked up straight draws, but Aoki's king-kicker continued to play on the 6♦ turn and 2♦ river to earn him the double up.
