Aido Cracks Aces in Three-Way Clash
Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Jingxuan Zhu kicked off the action with a raise to 20,000 under the gun. It folded to Pavels Spirins on the button, who put his 125,000 at risk with an all-in three-bet.
Sergio Aido then four-bet jammed for 320,000 from the small blind, and big blind Ignas Jasinevicius five-bet jammed for 398,000. Zhu had seen enough, and he quickly added his cards to the muck.
Pavels Spirins: 5♥5♦
Sergio Aido: 10♦10♣
Ignas Jasinevicius: A♥A♦
Jasinevicius' aces looked set to score a double knockout after the K♠3♠Q♦ flop and 2♣ turn, but Aido hit one of his two outs on the 10♠ river.
Aido was awarded the big pot, knocking out Spirins and leaving Jasinevius with less than eight big blinds.
