Prost Runs Into Correia's Aces
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Andrejs Prost jammed for his final 285,000 from early position and was called in the next seat over by Ruben Correia to put Prost at risk.
Andrejs Prost: 9♥9♠
Ruben Correia: A♦A♠
Prost held a pocket pair, but Correia was equipped with the best starting hand in the game.
The flop brought a bit of intrigue as it came J♥Q♠10♦ to give Prost the lower end of the straight draw as Correia blocked the high end.
This proved to matter when the K♠ peeled off on the turn to give both players a straight, but Correia held the higher straight.
The K♦ river was the end of the road for Prost as he was eliminated.
