Arnwine Has the Bigger Ace
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Justin Arnwine raised to 40,000 in middle position and Hamid Izadi called on the button, as did Kade Venkatesan in the big blind.
The flop came A♣A♦3♣ and Arnwine continued for 50,000. Only Venkatesan called and they both checked the 9♣ turn.
Venkatesan led out for 130,000 on the K♥ river, and Arnwine quickly called. Venkatesan showed A♥7♥ for trips, but Arnwine had A♠J♥ and took the pot with his jack-kicker.
