Ebolheb Wins Battle of Big Slicks

Klas Krueger raised to 1,500 in middle position with A♦K♥ and was called by Tom-Aksel Bedell on the button, who had J♣9♥. Fariss Ebolheb, finding A♣K♠, three-bet to 4,900 in the small blind before Brandon Sheils put in a fourth bet worth 12,600 with A♥K♣.

Krueger got rid of his cards and Bedell folded as well. Ebolheb called to the 10♣5♥7♦ flop, where Sheils continued for 6,300. Ebolheb check-called and the 4♠ turn was put on the table.

After some consideration, Ebolheb checked again, seeing Sheils check back. The 10♠ river completed the board, where Ebolheb pushed in a bet of 17,000.

Sheils weighed his options carefully but ultimately decided to fold what would have been a chopped pot. Ebolheb raked in the big pot as the only one out of the three players with ace-king to see a return on their investment.
