Aces Full For Aoki
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Ryan Depaulo opened to 1,200 from under the gun and got three callers, including Dennis Aoki in middle position and Thomas Torres in the cutoff.
Depaulo and Aoki checked on the A♦10♦8♦ flop and Torres bet 2,000. Only Aoki called. Aoki check-called again on the 3♦ turn when Torres sized up to 4,000.
Aoki checked once more on the 3♣ river and Torres checked back before showing a flush with Q♦Q♥. However, it was no good against the aces full of Aoki with A♣A♠, who claimed that he has had aces five times today.
"You guys are trying to trap me with my nines," Depaulo said after his opponents sneakily called behind him with big pairs.
