Delacruz Cracks Aces on the River
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
A player in early position bet 3,000 on a flop of 3♣9♣8♣ and Charles Marik called in the hijack. Antonio Delacruz then raised to 10,000 in the small blind, and the early-position player reraised to 23,000. Marik got out of the way, but Delacruz moved all in and his opponent quickly called for 35,000.
All-In Player: A♠A♥
Antonio Delacruz: A♣5♣
The at-risk player was ahead with his aces, but he needed to dodge Delacruz's flush draw. The turn was the 6♥, while the Q♣ river gave Delacruz his flush and sent his opponent to the rail.
