Level 7
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Rudy Herrera opened the bidding with a raise to 2,600 from the hijack. Kris Burchfield called from the cutoff before Thanh Le joined from the big blind.
Le checked his option on the 9♥Q♦9♦ flop before Herrera chose to bet 2,000. Burchfield called, but Le opted to put more chips in the pot with a check-raise to 9,000. Herrera called, but Burchfield got out of the hand with a fold.
The 4♦ turn led to a bet of 4,500 from Le. Herrera called.
Le bet 10,000 on the 6♠ river. Herrera took his time to think it over before he put in the call and went to showdown against Le.
Le showed A♠Q♠ for a pair of queens with an ace kicker. It was no good, however, as Herrera tabled A♥A♣ for a pair of aces to win the pot.
