With two limps in front, John Aga raised to 1,300 on the button. The small blind called, and Buck Ramsay opted to three-bet to 4,500 from the big blind. Both limpers folded, Aga called all in for less, and the small blind briefly thought it over before tossing his cards into the muck.

Aga needed help and he got some quickly on the flop. His pair of tens held up through the turn and river.
