Pocket Deuces Triple Up as Ace-Kings Clash
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Loni Hui opened the action under the gun with A♠K♥, and Ethan Eramian flatted in middle position holding the same hand, A♣K♠. Zhannan Ge then looked down at 2♠2♥ in the cutoff and shoved his last 14,700 into the middle.
Back on Hui, she sized up Eramian’s stack and four-bet to 63,800. Eramian snap-called, setting up a three-way showdown.
The board ran out 8♣8♦6♥5♥3♥, missing both ace-kings entirely and allowing Ge's pocket deuces to hold for a full triple-up. Hui and Eramian, both holding top-tier starting hands, had to settle for chopping the side pot.
