Double-Up for Fiala After River Trap
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
A player opened from early position, and was met by a three-bet to 8,000 from Vito Branciforte in middle position. Action folded to Simon Fiala in the big blind, who reached for chips and produced a four-bet to 22,000.
The opener got out of the way, but Branciforte called.
On the K♣9♠8♣ flop, Fiala check-called versus a bet of 16,500 from Branciforte.
The 4♣ turn was quickly checked to the 10♣ river, bringing one-card flush possibilities.
Fiala checked, and Branciforte moved all in with the slightly covering stack. Fiala had a quick peek at his cards, and made the call.
Fiala tabled A♣A♥ for the ace-high flush, and Branciforte was always in trouble with J♥J♦.
