Siegfried Finds Aces on First Hand
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
James MacMillan raised to 12,000 under the gun. Siegfried Friedl, to his immediate left, bumped it up to 25,000.
Jordan Schneible four-bet raised to 38,000 from the cutoff. After MacMillan folded, Friedl moved all in with his entire 92,000-chip stack.
Schneible made the call.
Siegfried Friedl: A♥A♦
Jordan Schneible: 10♦10♣
There is not much better a shortstack can do than picking up aces on the first hand of the day. Friedl's big pair withstood the runout of J♣4♦6♦8♥Q♠ for him to more than double-up.
