How Many Aces Are in the Deck?
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Suru Patel opened to 12,000 from the hijack before La Sengphet three-bet to 28,000 on the button, and Patel called.
On the A♥A♣3♦ flop, Patel check-called a bet of 25,000 from Sengphet.
Patel checked again on the J♣ turn as Sengphet cut out a bet of 76,000. Patel then check-jammed for 156,000 total and Sengphet snap-called as the slightly covering stack.
Suru Patel: A♦K♥
La Sengphet: A♠6♥
It was a cooler flop with both players making trip aces. Patel's kicker played, but Sengphet still had outs to win or chop. However, the river was the K♣, giving Patel a full house of his own to double in a massive pot.
