Selvakumaran Catches Alexander
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Robert Mather began the bidding with an open to 40,000 on the button. Aram Alexander called out of the small blind, but Ajit Selvakumaran wanted to play for more as he three-bet to 155,000 in response. Mather folded, but Alexander put in the call.
The flop came 3♥Q♠Q♣ before Alexander took the betting lead with a wager of 400,000, which was enough to put Selvakumaran all-in. Selvakumaran put in all his chips to be at risk for 290,000.
Ajit Selvakumaran: A♣A♥
Aram Alexander: K♣J♦
Alexander was speeding, and he picked the wrong time, as Selvakumaran held aces and had a big lead in the hand.
The 8♠ turn sealed the deal as Selvakumaran had a lock on the hand.
Selvakumaran improved to an unnecessary full house on the A♠ river to double up.
