Cugunov's Suited Ace Is Good
Level 21
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Konstantin Cugunov raised from early position to 40,000, Tom Hall called from the small blind, and Antonios Poziadis called from the big blind. The flop arrived with A♦4♣9♣, and both blinds checked to the preflop raiser Cugunov, who bet 35,000. Only Hall remained to see the turn.
On the turn 7♠, Hall checked again, and Cugunov bet 130,000. Hall called.
Both players checked the river 8♣. Cugunov turned over A♥7♥ for two pair, and Hall mucked.
