Maeroff Cracks Aces to Reach the Bubble
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
There was a raise to 20,000 from under the gun and Jason Maeroff flat-called on his left. They went heads-up to a flop of A♠J♣9♦ and Maeroff was faced with a bet of 25,000 which he called.
The turn brought the K♣ and Maeroff's opponent shoved all in for around 100,000. Maeroff snapped him off and rolled over Q♦10♣ for a straight. His opponent had A♣A♦ for a set of aces so was still drawing live.
The river did not pair the board with the 7♦ and Maeroff eliminated his opponent. The hand-for-hand process will now begin, just one elimination away from the money and bagging up on Day 1b.
