Etchebarne Plays it Slow With Aces
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Arnaud Etchebarne open-raised and Mahdi Belounis clicked it back with a re-raise to 1,500. Etchebarne then four-bet to 5,200 and Belounis called.
The flop ran out 4♣2♥4♦ and Etchebarne checked. Belounis bet 4,000 and Etchebarne called. Both players then checked on the 6♥ turn.
The river came the 3♠ and Etchebarne led with a small bet of 2,600. Belounis looked hesitant, but eventually flicked in a chip to signify the call. Etchebarne flipped over A♥A♦ for pocket aces, two pair with the fours on board. Belounis mucked and Etchebarne won the pot.
