Plesuv Spikes an Ace to Stay Alive
Level 8
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Pavel Plesuv raised from the cutoff to 12,000 and was called by Jakob Miegel in the small blind.
The flop came 6♠3♣9♣. Miegel checked, and Plesuv bet out for 12,000, to which Miegel countered with a raise to 35,000. Plesuv then went all in for 120,000, and Miegel called.
Pavel Plesuv: A♥Q♠
Jakob Miegel: Q♦9♦
Miegel was ahead with his pair of nines until the A♠ fell on the turn, and when the 3♥ bricked out the river Plesuv scooped the pot and a full double up.
