Aces Good Enough for Josephy
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Danny Hannawa started this hand with a limp from under the gun. Two to his left, Cliff Josephy also limped. Jeremy Ausmus completed from the small blind, and Jonas Kronwitter checked his option in the big blind.
The flop came 10♠5♣3♦ and Ausmus checked. Kronwitter decided to lead out for 6,000 and only Josephy made the call.
The 5♥ fell on the turn, and now Kronwitter bet 17,000. Josephy again called.
On the 8♦ river, both players checked. Kronwitter showed the J♣ and 10♦, but Josephy had him beat with A♠A♥9♥8♥.
