Cimera Backdoors His Way to a Double
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Action went three-ways to a flop of 3♣2♥10♦ in a hand between Dean Cimera in middle position, Dan Hummer on the button, and Aaron Gao in the big blind.
With 750,000 in the middle, it checked to Cimera, who bet 175,000 with A♥5♥. Hummer called with A♦J♥ and Gao called with 5♠4♣. The turn landed the 6♥, giving Gao the straight and Cimera the nut flush draw.
All three players checked to the 9♥ river, giving Cimera the nut flush. Gao led out with a bet of 900,000, Cimera moved all in for 1,075,000 and Hummer folded.
Gao made the call and saw the bad news when the cards were tabled.
