Minghini Drags in 163 Big Blind Pot in Cooler; Biggest of Main Event
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Arsenii Karmatckii opened to 250,000 from the hijack and called when Jarod Minghini three-bet to 750,000 from the cutoff.
Karmatckii checked on the J♠8♥4♥ flop, and Minghini bet 400,000. Karmatckii made it 1,100,000 and Minghini called.
Karmatckii fired out another 2,400,000 on the 9♠ turn, and Minghini stuck around to the final betting round, where the A♠ completed the board.
Karmatckii announced all-in as the bigger stack. Minghini let out a small sigh before calling off his stack of 3,900,000.
Karmatckii tabled J♦J♣ for a set of jacks, but it was no good as Minghini had rivered a set of aces with his A♥A♦ to win the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
