Garner Picks Up Aces For a Massive Double
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jay Nguyen opened to 100,000 from the hijack and Jonathan Azoulay three-bet to 325,000 from the cutoff. Michael Garner four-bet to 825,000 from the button, Nguyen folded and Azoulay five-bet shoved, slightly covering Garner who had 3,215,000 to start the hand. Garner snap-called.
Michael Garner: A♠A♥
Jonathan Azoulay: A♦K♥
Both players had monster hands but Garner was on the right side of the cooler with aces. He remained ahead on the 7♠8♠2♥9♦Q♦ runout to secure a massive double up through Azoulay who was left with just over five big blinds.
