Whalen Slowplays Aces to Perfection
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Korte Yeo raised from the cutoff and William Whalen called from the big blind.
Whalen knuckled it over to Yeo on the 6♠9♣J♦ flop, and Yeo fired a continuation-bet of 16,000. Whalen check-jammed for around 70,000, which Yeo called.
William Whalen: A♠A♦
Korte Yeo: Q♣J♠
Whalen had slow-played aces to perfection and found the perfect flop to get action.
Yeo didn't find any assistance on the 5♠ turn or 10♦ river, and he had to send over a small portion of his stack to Whalen.
