Witteles Scores Big With Aces

Dan O'Hair

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a board of J♠J♥7♦J♣ with a large pot already in the middle, the player in the cutoff bet 18,000 and Todd Witteles called on the button.

The 8♥ completed the board and it was checked to Witteles, who put 20,000 into the middle. His opponent looked him up and Witteles turned over A♥A♣ for the nut full house, which was met with a frustrated muck to send the pot Witteles' way.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Mounir Tajiou opened 3,500 in early position and Michael Perrone three-bet 10,000 next to act. The action folded back around to Tajiou and he made the call.

When the A♦5♦3♣ flop hit the felt, Tajiou check-called a bet of 5,000 from Perrone.

The 10♣ turn received checks from both players and the A♠ fell on the river. Tajiou led for 17,000, and Perrone tank-called to see the A♣6♣ of Tajiou before mucking his hand.

Michael Perrone	111,500 28,000	28,000
