Jeremy Wien Spikes the Turn to Crack Jeff Blenkarn's Aces

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Jeff Blenkarn opened the action and picked up two callers including Jeremy Wien in the big blind.

On a flop of {8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades}, Blenkarn continued for 12,000 which got one fold but Wien check-raised all in.

Blenkarn asked for the bet to be pulled in and it was an extra 16,000 for him to call.

As he thought about what to do, Wien said to him, “I’m ahead; I’ll show you. I don’t want you to suck out on me.”

“I guess I can’t fold aces,” Blenkarn said and called.

Blenkarn: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Wien: {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

The turn was the {j-Spades} and the river the {3-Spades}.

Wien hit two pair to crack aces and double up.
