Roque's Ace-High is Good at Showdown

Tim Baker

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Julius Roque raised to 11,000 from middle position, and Matthew Lapossie was the only caller from the cutoff.

Roque checked the 3♥9♦8♣ flop, and Lapossie bet 15,000. Roque continued with a call.

Both players checked the K♥ turn and 2♥ river. Roque tabled A♦J♠ for ace-high, which was enough to earn him the pot.
