Grax Cracks Aces
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Tom Hall opened to 100,000 from middle position. Sebastien Grax three-bet all in from the small blind for his last 650,000.
When Hall silently turned over his hand, the dealer asked, "You call?"
His reply? "Um, yeah."
Tom Hall: A♠A♣
Sebastien Grax: K♣Q♦
Indeed, Hall was no doubt making the call with pocket aces. Didn't matter. The runout was unkind.
The board came 5♥Q♣K♥K♦7♦, giving Grax two pair on the flop and a full house on the turn for the double-up.
