Ace-High Good, Ace-High No Good
Level 39
: 1,000,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante
Laurance Essak opened to 3,500,000 in middle position and Jeevan Lobo called in the big blind.
Lobo checked on the flop of 10♦4♣3♠ and Essak continued for 2,500,000. Lobo called. Both players then checked on the 8♠ turn.
Both players checked again on the 6♥ river and Lobo showed ace-high with A♣Q♥. However, Essak then turned over A♥K♥ to win the pot with a better ace-high as Lobo was left shaking his head in disbelief.
