Bradley Cracks Tanimoto's Aces
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Melissa Bradley got the action started with a raise to 10,000 from early position before Arthur Tanimoto asked to play for it all and jammed for 46,000. Bradley called to be at risk for 38,500.
Melissa Bradley: J♥J♦
Arthur Tanimoto: A♥A♦
Bradley was well behind, but the flop was generous as it came 6♠8♣J♣ to give Bradley top set and pull well ahead of Tanimoto's aces.
The Q♠ turn, and the Q♣ river sealed the deal in favor of Bradley, who scooped in the pot.
"I'm irritated," said Tanimoto in a joking manner with a smile following the tough beat.
