Aces and Kings on First Hand
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
With the gold bracelet on the table, Ron West opened to 500,000 from the cutoff, but Carmino Argiero in the small blind three-bet to 1,500,000. Chuanshu Chen called from the big blind, and West called as well.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♥3♣9♥ and after the blinds checked, West bet 475,000. Argiero check-raised to 1,000,000 and was called by Chen. West went into the tank before folding.
The turn card was the 9♠. Argiero checked to see Chen bet 1,500,000. Argiero eventually folded KxKx face up.
"F***," Chen immediately said while revealing A♣A♠.
"If you raise preflop, I'm out," Argiero said before congratulating Chen.
