Aragon Doubles in the Last Moment
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
James Girouard raised to 4,000 in the hijack. Adin Aragon and Christian Calcano called in the blinds, after which a K♠3♣10♠ flop was dealt. It checked to Girouard, who bet 6,000. Aragon and Calcano both called, revealing the A♦ turn, which checked through.
The 8♥ fell on the river. It checked to Girouard once more, who bet 20,000. Aragon quickly moved in for 37,000, and Calcano mucked his cards.
Girouard entered a long tank, but eventually called his A♣J♣ for top pair. Aragon tabled Q♠J♠ for the nut straight, however, and doubled up during the final hands of Day 2d.
