Barattini Cracks Tsujisaka's Aces
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Action picked up heads-up to the turn with a little under 70,000 in the middle in a hand between Juan Barattini from middle position and Tetsuya Tsujisaka from the hijack.
With the board reading 10♣6♣3♦9♠, Barattini checked to Tsujisaka who bet 30,000. Barattini responded with a check-jam for 96,000 effective as the slightly covering stack, and Tsujisaka snapped it off.
Tetsuya Tsujisaka: A♠A♥ 
Juan Barattini: 6♠6♦
"Are you kidding me?" Tsujisaka lamented as he saw the bad news and he sheepishly revealed his aces.
Tsujisaka pleaded with the dealer "One time, baby!" as the 5♣ landed on the river which improved neither player, and Tsujisaka's Main Event dream was cut short holding pocket aces.
