Lonis Almost Closes the Gap to Mizrachi
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Jesse Lonis raised to 240,000 and was called by Raj Vohra, as well as Toby Joyce in the big blind. The K♦Q♣5♥ flop was checked to Lonis and his bet of 380,000 won the pot.
Aaron Kupin opened to 420,000 and Martin Zamani called on the button. On a flop of A♠10♦2♥, Kupin bet 275,000 and Zamani folded.
Lonis then defended his big blind against a raise by Michael Mizrachi. He check-called the A♦A♣J♣ flop for 125,000 and the 6♥ turn for 400,000. Mizrachi checked behind the 8♥ river, and Lonis announced the "second nuts" before flipping over his A♠Q♣10♠8♦ for aces full of eights.
"You could have just said you win, If he checks, it is kinda the nuts," Zamani mentioned with a smirk.
