Ace High is Good Enough
Level 10
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Taylor Von Kriegenbergh raised to 45,000 on the button, and only Ramiro Salinas called, defending his big blind.
Salinas checked the J♣6♠5♠ flop, but called when Von Kriegenbergh continued for 50,000.
Von Kriegenbergh turned up the heat on the 3♣ turn, betting 200,000 when checked to. Undeterred, Salinas called.
The river K♥ caused both players to hit the brakes, and the river checked through.
"I missed", said Von Kriegenbergh, but fortunately for him, so did Salinas.
Salinas turned over 8♦4♦ for a missed straight draw, and Von Kriegenbergh won the pot with ace-high, tabling A♠10♠ for a missed flush draw.
