Robilotto Picks Up Aces For Double Knockout
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Mervan Kizgin moved all in for 6,500 from early position, another opponent on the button reshoved for 15,000, and Michael Robilotto had both players covered and at risk in the big blind.
Mervan Kizgin: K♦10♦
Button: 8♦7♠
Michael Robilotto: A♥A♣
"King-ten is going to crack aces," Kizgin confidently predicted, and the K♠Q♣3♠ flop gave him a pair. The turn was the 6♦, while the 4♠ river was no help as Robilotto stayed in the lead to send both opponents to the rail.
"We tried," Kizgin said.
