Spirins Calls Correctly with Aces
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Pavels Spirins raised to 1,600 in early position and was called by David Nathaniel in the big blind. The flop came 5♣4♦2♦ and Nathaniel check-called a bet of 3,200 from Spirins.
The turn brought the 8♥ and Nathaniel check-called another bet of 8,500 from Spirins. The 6♥ completed the board and Nathaniel led out with a bet of 18,000. Spirins sunk into his chair and deliberated for a minute before making the call.
Nathaniel turned over K♣5♦ for just a pair of fives while Spirins held A♠A♦ to claim the pot.
