Minghini Makes Ace-High Hero-Call
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Mark Shutley put in a raise to 115,000 under the gun. Sejo Kasic called in the next seat, and Tony Gregg followed suit as next to act.
It then folded to Jarod Minghini in the cutoff, who three-bet to 420,000. Shutley mucked his 9♦9♥, but Kasic called. Gregg also folded a pocket pair with 6♠6♥, after which a 8♠Q♠8♦ flop was shown.
Kasic checked, Minghini bet 3000,000, and Kasic called. After some thought, Kasic also checked the 4♣ turn. Minghini mulled things over before checking back, prompting Kasic to fire a bet worth 1,000,000 on the 3♣ river.
Minghini needed some minutes before he called off. Kasic could only show king-high with K♣J♠, and Minghini was awarded the pot with A♣K♠ for nothing but ace-high.
