Lipton With Massive Squeeze
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Gary Herstein raised to 250,000 from early position, Qing Lu called from the hijack, and Arie Kliper called from the cutoff. Chad Lipton was in the big blind, and three-bet to 1,000,000. Herstein was the lone caller.
The flop came 5♠A♣J♥, Lipton bet 700,000, and Herstein raised to 1,700,000. Lipton called. Both players then checked the turn 4♦ and the river 9♥.
Lipton flipped over A♦K♦ for a pair of aces and the win, as Herstein mucked.
"I raised too small preflop." Lipton remarked.
