Plesuv Finds the Aces
Level 38
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Myles Mullaly raised to 2,000,000 in late position and Pavel Plesuv three-bet from the button to 5,500,000. Mullaly went into the think tank and called.
The flop was A♥4♣9♥. Mullaly checked and Plesuv bet 2,600,000. Mullaly called quickly.
Both players checked the turn when the Q♥ arrived.
The river 3♠ had Mullaly taking the lead and betting out 11,000,000 and Plesuv immediately called.
Mullaly tabled A♣Q♠ and Plesuv threw over A♠A♣ for his set of aces.
The oversized crowd went wild with excitement.
Andreas Kniep laughed, "Who filled the Hungarians with liquor?"
One of the rail jovially shouted back, "This is not liquor, just juice."
Andreas said, "Oh the Hungarian National drink... strawberry juice."
