Uguccioni Flops a Straight to Crush Beinner's Aces
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
On the 8♥6♥4♣ flop there were roughly 196,000 chips in the pot already, Michael Uguccioni was seen with all of his 247,000 across the line, and it was Matthew Beinner putting him at risk for his tournament life.
Michael Uguccioni: J♥9♣7♠5♥
Matthew Beinner: A♦A♠K♥4♥
Uguccioni had out-flopped Beinner's aces as he flopped a straight but Beinner wasn't drawing dead as he looked for a heart to complete his flush. Unfortunately for Beinner the 3♠ turn and 10♣ river were no help and the dealer sent the pot to Uguccioni.
