Ace-High Enough for Tuliupa
Level 33
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Artem Tuliupa opened from the button and picked up a call from Ankit Ahuja in the big blind.
The flop came 3♠9♦Q♥, and after Ahuja checked, Tuliupa fired for 2,175,000. Ahuja made the call to see the 3♣ on the turn, where both players slowed down with a check.
On the 9♠ river, Ahuja took the lead with a bet of 2,600,000, putting Tuliupa to the test. After a brief pause, Tuliupa made the call with just A♦4♠, and it turned out to be the right decision. His ace-high held up, and he dragged in a healthy pot.
