Dogfight Between Aces
Level 12
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 0 ante
Nozomu Shimizu raised from under the gun before Matthew Rightnour three-bet from the button. The blinds got out of the way and Shimizu called to see a flop.
The flop was 4♣Q♠2♠ and Shimizu check-called a bet from Rightnour. The turn was 3♠.
Both players checked the turn and the 10♦ river. Rightnour showed A♣9♦, but Shimizu had A♥J♥ to take the pot with the better ace-high.
