Primerano Disguises His Aces
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Matija Kajtez opened to 120,000 in middle position with K♣10♣ and Daniele Primerano flat-called in the hijack with A♥A♣ which allowed Gonzalo Jose to tag along with 9♦6♦ in the big blind. The flop came K♥J♥7♥ and the action checked to Primerano who tossed in a bet of 160,000 which only Kajtez called.
The turn brought the the 8♣ and Kajtez checked again. Primerano checked it back and the 4♣ rolled off on the river. Kajtez checked one more time and Primerano announced a bet of 775,000. Kajtez was left in agony for nearly three minutes with just top pair but eventually made the correct laydown.
