Bad Beat for Aguero
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
During one of the last hands of the day, on a heads-up flop of K♦4♠10♥, Sergio Aguero checked over to his opponent, Michael Monroig, who bet 3,000.
Aguero quickly made the call and the two went to the turn 9♥ where Monroig continued for 6,500 and Aguero check-called again.
The river came the 5♥ and Aguero checked to Monroig once more who fired for 11,500 but Aguero showed no fear and quickly called.
"Straight," Monroig announced as he tabled Q♦J♥ for a turned straight while Aguero flipped over K♣9♣ for a turned two-pair that was unfortunately not enough to win the pot and it was shipped over to Monroig.
Even with this loss, the famous footballer still has a healthy stack of 87,000 to take with him into Day 2 of the WSOP Main Event.
