Nuez Cracks Aces to Send Zur Linden Packing
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Action folded to Guillem Nuez on the button, who opened to 6,000. Alexander zur Linden responded with a small three-bet from the small blind, which Nuez called.
The flop came 6♠8♣Q♣ and zur Linden fired the continuation bet. After a brief pause, Nuez moved all-in. Zur Linden quickly called.
Alexander zur Linden: A♣A♠ 
Guillem Nuez: 8♠8♦
Zur Linden needed an ace to survive, but neither the 3♣ turn nor the 2♠ river provided it. Nuez's flopped set held, eliminating the German and pushing Nuez close to the 300,000 chip mark.
