Alderson Busts Aces
Level 26
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Under the gun raised, then Joseph Alderson jammed from the hijack for around 250,000. The small blind rejammed for 775,000 which was called and covered by under the gun.
Small Blind: A♣A♠
Joseph Alderson: A♥K♥
Under the gun: Q♣10♣
The small blind was looking strong with pocket aces and the Q♦8♣3♦ flop didn't change anything despite under the gun hitting top pair.
The 10♦ turn brought in a straight draw for Alderson and two pair for under the gun, leaving the small blind in need of improvement.
The dealer peeled the J♣ river to save Alderson from elimination, as he made Broadway on the river.
The small blind was sent home and under the gun took the rest of the pot.
